MAG Speak
Is quality still an issue with Indian textiles? Indian textile has improved tremendously, as compared to a decade ago. But there is still contamination and impurities in say, for example, cotton. This eventually affects the final quality of the end product. In today’s competitive market environment, quality matters the most. It is the important factor that sustains a business. Good quality brings repeat orders to suppliers. Thus, quality control instruments play a critical role in textile mills.
What goes into creating these high precision instruments? The R&D is the core of our product development. Our R&D team consists of four divisions: Electronics, Mechanical designing, Software and Secretariat (evaluation). Also, our service is 24×7. Additionally, we offer a 12 month warranty – including replacement. For special components like imported gears, we offer a 7 years replacement warranty. We believe and deliver machines of high standards and accuracy.
Any new product launch? What are your growth plans?
The HVT fibre tester was launched in 2004 by MAG. In this SIMA exhibition 2010, we have launched Automatic FibroSampler to prepare the samples for length & strength test and we have launched Gtrash (Gravemetric Trash separator) to determine the exact trash content in cotton fibre/ raw materials of the mills by using buoyancy principle. The G trash has received good response in the exhibition, particularly corporate customers of south who buy cotton fibre in huge quantities. We have technical supports from SITRA and many more, not only from India but also from Germany. Another special feature about our R&D is they not only do innovation, but they actively participate in contest organized by World class Associations for cotton like CSITC – Global Round Trials test conducted by International Cotton Advisory Committee, USA & Bremen Cotton Round Test conducted by Laboratory of the BREMEN Cotton Exchange, Germany. By continuously participating in this kind of instrument evaluation contest our R&D proves that their innovation is strong.
How has business been, especially considering the slowdown of 2008-09?
Spinning industry is doing ok now, as compared to 2008 and ’09. The fiber side is contributing to our growth. Irrespective of the business cycle, we are doing ok. Our pricing is competitive and we have a well networked marketing partner in A.T.E. We chose them because of their wide customer base.
