Savio’s association with the Trident Group started way back in early 1990s when the first spinning 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 completed 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 supplied 15 TFO model Geminis S of 200 spindles each. Another five Geminis S model machines of identical specification were added during 2006.
Trident continued its expansion 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 successfully installed till date, confirming the quality commitment of the Trident Group.
During late 2010, Trident conceived 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.
