Candour Techtex Limited (CTL), Malegaon, has announced that it has entered into a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with Ratanmoti Texfab (India) Pvt. Ltd. (RMTF), Kolhapur, for a long-term arrangement relating to the coating and lamination of fabrics intended for applications in the Indian Defence Industry.
Under the proposed arrangement, RMTF will supply fabrics to CTL, which will undertake the required coating and lamination processes at its manufacturing facilities, in accordance with the applicable specifications and quality requirements. The processed fabrics will thereafter be supplied by RMTF to Aerial Delivery Research and Development Establishment (ADRDE), Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO).
The MOU represents an important development for CTL as its coating and lamination capabilities are proposed to become part of the supply chain serving ADRDE/DRDO through RMTF. The association provides the Company with an opportunity to participate in the development and supply chain for specialised coated and laminated textile materials intended for defence-related applications.
Through this arrangement, CTL will contribute its technical expertise and manufacturing capabilities in the processing, coating and lamination of technical fabrics, with a focus on consistently meeting the specified technical, quality and performance requirements applicable to such specialised applications.
The proposed association also aligns with CTL’s broader objective of expanding the application of its processing capabilities into technical textiles, specialised industrial applications and defence-related textile requirements. The Company believes that its experience in coating and lamination can support the growing requirement for engineered textile materials where specific functional and performance characteristics are required.
The MOU further provides CTL with an opportunity to establish and develop its presence in a specialised segment of the technical textile industry and to work with an established industry participant such as RMTF in addressing application-specific requirements.
Commenting on the development, Mr. Jayesh R Mehta, Managing Director, Candour Techtex Limited, said: “We are pleased to enter into this MOU with Ratanmoti Texfab (India) Pvt. Ltd. The proposed association provides Candour Techtex with an opportunity to apply its coating and lamination capabilities to specialised technical textile requirements serving the defence sector. We look forward to leveraging our manufacturing expertise and maintaining the required quality and technical standards as the relationship progresses.”
CTL will continue to focus on strengthening its technical capabilities, manufacturing processes and product applications across specialised textile segments, while exploring opportunities that can expand the use of its coating and lamination expertise across diverse industrial applications.
