Welspun Flooring strengthens partnership with Zimmer Austria

There is no doubting the fact that reliable quality and performance builds trust over time. Nowhere is this more evident than in the case of Welspun India Group and Zimmer Austria Digital Printing Systems. The later has recently installed its fourth machine for the former.

The India based world class flooring product manufacturer has recently invested into a high-resolution digital inkjet printer type COLARIS.96-4200. The print line has been designed for production of high-end contract carpets and carpet tiles.

The investment into this COLARIS printing line is a perfect match with the company’s strategy to revolutionize the contract carpet segment with latest technology in carpet tiles and broadloom (wall to wall) carpets.

The Welspun Group, with their headquarter in Mumbai, India decided to invest into the COLARIS carpet print technology, experiencing excellent performance and service from Zimmer Austria, their trusted print machinery supplier. After purchasing a ChromoJET carpet sample printer and a carpet ChromoJET carpet production print line in the years 2012/2013 for their Vapi plant, followed by a COLARIS printer for terry towel production in 2016 for their Anjar based production site, this is the fourth investment of the Welspun India Group with Zimmer Austria.

A complete COLARIS roll to roll print line with integrated horizontal steamer and post print washer has been added with a domestic dryer from Yamuna Machine Works Ltd, by the engineering team of Zimmer Austria.

A lead time of just about 8 months from order to start-up of production, was quite challenging for a 91 meters long production line. The installation was completed in March 2020 and commissioning started by mid- July. The official inauguration of the new production site in Hyderabad, Telengana took place on 25th July, 2020. The plant boasts of latest machinery from reputed international suppliers.
