Paper Mills Production Division

 

Shalimar Wires Industries Limited started with a mission in 1962 to update technology in the Paper Industry and progressively reduce dependence on imports. The first step in the realisation of that mission was in the manufacture of Fourdrinier Wire Cloth, which was a pioneering success in the area of import substitution, and the development of indigenous capability.


The company also set up facilities at its unit for the manufacture / reconditioning of Dandy Rolls (an import substitute item used in paper machines for improving the quality of paper and for water marking). In the early 70's it was found that the installed capacity of wire cloth was not adequate to cater to the requirements of the Paper Industry of India and some exports to South East Asian countries. For this purpose additional looms were installed in the years 1971-73.

 

Meanwhile it was felt that this unit should produce some other products for paper industry that can be sold with value offering. With this idea Dandy Roll production started in the year 1972. From the early 1970 the paper industry started using synthetic fabrics in place of metal wire cloth. The division sensed the change and started working for the synthetic fabrics in-house.


In the initial stage certain fabrics were produced and tried in paper mills with encouraging results in the period 1975-78. By acquiring the required technical know-how for the production of Synthetic forming fabrics in India this unit started producing single layer synthetic forming fabric. In 1987 they added Multi layer forming fabric into the production range.

 

Non Ferrous Wires Division

 

The Company is a pioneer and leader in EDM Industry in India and has a well-established and reputed global network in place. The range of EDM Wires covers almost all applications and can be used on all types of machines.
