Millmark Associates was formed in 1992, with its head office in Coimbatore remaining the main hub of the textile yarn spinning industry. Headed by Mr. D. Sampath Kumar, Chief Executive Officer, the company is well known in textile machinery spares and services, offering its customers a wide range of spares right from blowroom to autoconer.
With a team of textile engineers with 15 years of work experience in leading textile machinery manufacturers of the entire range of spinning machinery in India, the management has gained considerable experience in erection and servicing of all brands of spinning machinery in India and abroad.
“Millmark Associates’ motto is to supply top quality tailor-made consumable products unlike a normal standard product. Existing products are updated regularly with improvements. Innovation and updating is a daily process at Millmark Associates”, says Mr. Sampath Kumar.
The management uses the knowledge gained though years of exposure and experience in the textile industry to identify design-oriented flaws and provide solutions to customers. Based on this, the company has developed an individual machine-centric product which is indeed well accepted in the market.
The company provides a complete system of flat brush attachment to achieve 100 per cent flat cleaning in Trutzschler/Trumac and Rieter carding machines. This will help to keep the flats clean of micro dust and seed coats throughout its working time, ensuring uniform quality of the card sliver. The attachment enables consistency in NEP removal efficiency of cards. Moreover, with this conversion, there is a saving in usage of compressed air to clean the flat and manpower during operation.
The conversion is also applicable for cards which are processing 100 per cent polyester and blends. The titanium di-oxide deposit on the flats is removed by this brush drive arrangement assuring the efficiency of consistent NEP removal is maintained.
The company continues to provide value-added conversions for the existing machinery in the industry wherever necessary. It also provides solution to customers in demand of non-standard spares with their in-house design and development team. In critical areas of production, energy and labour saving, the team offers tailor-made solutions to the clients.
Millmark Associates supplies all spare parts for Rieter, Lakshmi, Trutzschler, Toyoda, Zinser, Marzoli, Howa, Platts Saco Lowell, NSE and Schlafhorst brands of machinery. As the firm adopts stringent inspection and quality norms, the rejection percentage is nil.
As a domestic player, the firm’s presence is felt in almost all the textile centres in India. It also has a share of business in Indonesia, Thailand, Vietnam, Malaysia, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka and South Africa. Its export market keeps expanding.
