The Coimbatore-based Jaaz Group has been appointed by Zhejiang Rifa Textile Machinery (RIFA) as its agent to sell rotor spinning machines and TFO twisters in the south Indian market. RIFA has already appointed PMP Global as its agent for North India.
RIFA is a leading textile machinery manufacturer in China offering products for spinning, twisting, knitting and weaving segments. The weaving machines are manufactured and sold by the group company Shandong Rifa Textile Machinery Co. Ltd. The weaving machinery business is already represented in India by Voltas for rapier loom, air jet loom and terry loom categories.
The Jaaz Group will now represent RIFA for rotor spinning machines and TFO twisters in the southern market. “We have bagged the first major order for open-end spinning machine from Rajapalayam Mills. The machine has been installed and has commenced production. The customer response has been very encouraging, and we expect more orders shortly”, says Mr. Shahul, JAAZ Textile Systems Ltd.
Zhejiang Rifa Textile Machinery was founded in August 1993 with the registered capital of 60 million yuan. It is the holding company of Shandong Rifa Textile Machinery Co. Ltd. (formerly known as Shandong Changrun Textile Machinery) and thus forms a textile industry pattern covering both the South and North China. The company has become a professional manufacturer of textile equipment with high reputation in technology and market.
In the past 14 years, four categories – twisting, spinning, weaving and knitting – six series, including double twister, rotor spinning machine, circular knitting machine, compact spinning machine, jet loom and gripper loom, etc., have been developed. The products are sold all over world.
“India is a major market for OE spinning machines. We are confident about the quality and performance of RIFA machines and will be able to cater to the requirement of our customers”, says Mr. Shahul.
Founded in 2005 by a team of textile technocrats, the Jaaz Group has been largely instrumental in establishing the Chinese textile machinery in India. Over the years, it has made its mark as a company committed to bring appropriate, reliable technology in the spinning industry and has started associating itself with world class manufacturers in the field of machinery and accessories.
Today Jaaz is fully equipped to respond any requirements in terms of textile machinery and accessories across the line, from ginning, spinning, weaving, processing, air engineering, automation and non-woven segments.
In 2008, Jaaz diversified into electronics by starting another venture called “Jaaz Electro Drive Systems”, representing leading manufacturers for electrodrive systems, PLCs and automation systems.
Among the many principals represented by the JAAZ Group are SSM, Bracker, Novibra, SOFTECH and E+L.
