Here is an interesting story of
three textile industry profession-
als, Mr. V. Balasubramanian, Mr.
R. Anbazhahan and Mr. V. Benny
Jerald, who had more than 20 years
of experience in overhead travelling
cleaners (OHTCs).
AB Associates was their parent
company which was started in 2006
in Coimbatore and representing
brands like Rimtex, Sieger, Jacobi
and JC. Today AB Associates
is also representing JC, Rimtex,
Sieger, Inarco, Servomax India and
Elgi Ultra brands primarily in the
south Indian market.
The company decided to diversify
into overhead travelling cleaners
by establishing AB Industries in
2008-2009. The promoters have
vast experience in OHTC business
and they put all their experience in
developing a product which is best
in its class. Even before selling its
products in the Indian market, the
company forayed into the Turk-
ish market, thanks to its relation-
ship with Mr. Fatih Sabaz of Ikiler
Texstil Mumessilik, a leading agent
in Turkey for textile machinery and
accessories. MOHLER, the brand
under which OHTCs are manufac-
tured and sold by AB Industries has
become one of the largest selling
brands in the Turkish market.
Mr. Fatih Sabaz has been a
close associate of the promoters
of AB Associates for many years.
Thanks to the strong relationship,
understanding and confidence, AB
Industries has sold more than 500
OHTCs in the last couple years to
both spinning and weaving units
and also bagged significant orders
worth of Rs. 2 crores at ITM Texpo
Eurasia. The company provides
complete service support through a
team of dedicated and experienced
engineers.
Having established its presence
in Turkey, the company is all set
