Swastik Textile, a processing machinery manu-
facturer with over seven decades of textile exper-
tise, was started as a trading company in 1936
as an o#shoot of an Anglo-Italian company. !e
JV with the Italian company ended in the 1970s.
Since then the company has been on its own with
full-$edged design and engineering operations.
Swastik’s key strength lies in manufacturing custom-
built machines rather than mass market products, and this
has been its success mantra for several decades. “We don’t
believe in forcing a customer to buy what we offer but to
deliver him what he needs”, says Mr. Amit Mehta, Direc-
tor, Swastik Textile Engineers Private Ltd.
Swastik offers the complete range of textile wet pro-

Swastik exports to over 16 countries around the globe

the major markets include South America, Egypt, West

The company will have its large presence at ITMA, with
its stall enjoying a special locational advantage. It is aim-

America and East Europe.
At ITMA, Swastik will be displaying three different
products from three different sections – the merceriser,
representing the wet processing section, the rotary print-
ing machine with servo drives, a new concept to a lot of
emerging markets in the printing sector, and a tubular fab-
ric knit compactor in the knit fabric segment.
The company has three manufacturing facilities in and
around Ahmedabad producing a variety of items for the
textile industry. It also has an in-house development and
