Uncompromising Quality & Standards
ISO 9001:2015 Certified • OEKO-TEX Standard 100 • AQL 2.5 Inspection
Engineered for rigorous commercial laundry endurance. Every batch of fabric produced at our Pilkhuwa mill is audited against strict 4-point inspection parameters and certified for international export.
AQL 2.5 Inspection Protocol
Random sampling and multi-point visual inspection per ISO 2859-1 standards before export packaging.
Zero-Defect Weaving Policy
Automated warp stop sensors and light-table fabric inspection ensuring zero thread dropouts or loom marks.
100% Batch Traceability
Every fabric roll and master carton is tagged with yarn lot numbers for complete supply chain transparency.
COMMERCIAL TEXTILE TESTING LAB
Hospitality bedding undergoes hundreds of commercial laundry cycles. Our Pilkhuwa testing laboratory verifies performance metrics before shipment.
Spectrophotometer Color Matching
Computerized Delta E color evaluation matching Pantone TCX standards under D65 illuminant.
James Heal Tensile & Tear Tester
Evaluates warp and weft breaking strength to prevent premature fabric tearing under high-extraction laundry centrifuges.
Commercial Laundering & Shrinkage Oven
Accelerated 60°C wash and tumble dry cycles testing dimensional stability (<3.0%) and seam endurance.
