Established in 2015, Khanna Industries embarked on its journey with a focus on hank dyeing. Over the years, the venture expanded its operations, entering cotton knit fabric processing in 2017 and later adding open width finishing in 2021. Today, the company operates at full throttle, achieving a remarkable production capacity of 400 tons per month, a significant leap from the initial 50 tons per month seven years ago. With a daily fabric dyeing capacity of 16 tons, facilitated by two stenters from Monfongs, Khanna Industries stands as a testament to growth and efficiency.
The decision to venture into fabric processing and finishing in 2017 stemmed from a keen observation. Despite Ludhiana’s rich history as a textile hub, there was a noticeable gap in premium processing and finishing services. Seizing the opportunity, Khanna Industries set up a plant dedicated to addressing this gap, offering premium services at a reasonable price – a distinctive quality they proudly consider their unique selling proposition. The fabrics that undergo Khanna Industries’ meticulous processing include cotton single jerseys, interlocks, polycotton blends, and polyester, especially spandex based, showcasing their versatility. Their clientele extends both domestically and internationally, collaborating with suppliers dealing in exports and serving major brands like Aditya Birla, Van Heusen, Reliance, Raymond, Monte Carlo, etc.
Navigating the challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic with resilience, Khanna Industries embraced forward integration by venturing into fabric manufacturing in 2021. Looking ahead, plans for backward integration, specifically spinning operations, are on the horizon. Occupying a total built-up area of 2 lakh square feet, Khanna Industries envisions future expansion. The company plans to acquire additional land soon, foreseeing organic growth, possibly manifesting as a greenfield project.
