Savio-Trident
long-standing
partnership in progress
corporate news
Savio’s association with the
Trident Group started way back in
early 1990s when the first spin-
ning mill of the group was set up in
Barnala.
The iconic Savio automatic cone
winder model ESPERO took care
of the winding needs of this unit
which was commissioned with six
winders. The unit was expanded
from 1995 onwards, and all its 11
winders were commissioned by
1997. Soon after the success of
this mill came the second unit, and
Savio ESPERO became its integral
part of this unit which was complet-
ed in 1999, with a total 13 ESPERO
winders installed therein.
During this period Trident started
its terry towel plant and installed
Savio TFO model Geminis 12
machines of 360 spindles each.
The expansion of the plant took
place in 2004, and Savio sup-
plied 15 TFO model Geminis S
of 200 spindles each. Another
five Geminis S model ma-
chines of identical specification
were added during 2006.
Trident continued its expan-
sion in spinning and in the
process installed two Orion L,
the first fully electronic winder,
in its Unit 2 in 2004. The
fourth generation automatic
cone winder model Polar made
its entry in 2007, and there was
no looking back. A total 22
such winders have been successful-
ly installed till date, confirming the
quality commitment of the Trident
Group.
During late 2010, Trident con-
ceived its link winding project in
Barnala. Savio was associated with
this prestigious project and installed
40 link winders of Polar I DLS
model at this plant. At the new terry
towel project of Trident at Budhni
(MP) to be set up in 2012-2013,
Savio will be delivering 42 new
generation TFO model Sirius of
240 spindles each as well as another
13 at the Barnala unit.
The growth of Savio and Trident
in India are interrelated. Having
sold its first winder during 1990,
Savio delivered 15,669 winding
heads in 2011. This is indeed a
remarkable achievement.
