KPR Mill has recently added the latest vortex machine for producing various blends and range of value-added viscose yarn to create a new wave of fashion. The new advanced technology-driven knitting facility housing contemporary imported knitting machines is adding value to the production facilities. It has received encouraging response to its maiden venture into the retail business under its own brand named ‘FASO’, producing a first-of-its-kind 100% organic cotton menswear. Launched across South India, FASO has been well-accepted. It is produced using 100% organic cotton which results in ultra-soft comfort and skin-friendliness.
Proving its strong fundamentals and leadership, KPR Mill was able to withstand all hurdles during this tough time by delivering a good performance. The recently added latest technology vortex machine produces various blends and range of value-added viscose yarn that creates new waves of fashion. KPR Mill is largely engaged in manufacturing cotton products but given the fact that the market is slowly moving into value-added manmade fibres, the company is gearing up to meet this new trend and demand, the vortex machine being an example. The additional garment capacity is slated to add to the revenue.
