When a Belgian family-owned specialist in natural fibre technology teams up with one of India’s textile giants, the result is more than just a supplier relationship—it’s a story of trust, specialization, and shared vision.
CDB by Cretes NV, part of Valtech Group, has been designing machinery for natural fibre processing since 1908. Vardhman Textiles, a benchmark name in the Indian textile industry and one of the most respected names globally in fibre dyeing and textile manufacturing, chose to work with Cretes to push its innovation agenda, particularly in the field of fibre dyeing and sustainable processing.
A Strategic Alliance, Built on Expertise
For CDB by Cretes, this collaboration is more than strategic, it’s an honour. Working with a group of Vardhman’s caliber is a recognition of decades of engineering excellence, and a responsibility to keep delivering at the highest level.
For Vardhman, CDB by Cretes isn’t just a machine supplier. It’s a partner that brings deep know-how in bast fibre handling and dyeing processes. From bale-to-bale fibre dyeing and acrylic tow dyeing to advanced yarn and hank dyeing systems, CDB by Cretes offers Vardhman a fully integrated approach.
The reason this works so well, Both companies understand what it means to scale without losing focus. They’ve each grown from engineering roots into international players—without compromising their hands-on, customer-first mentality.
Delivering Results Where It Counts
Thanks to this partnership, Vardhman has been able to significantly reduce:
- Minimum liquor ratio (MLR)
- Steam and power consumption
- Dyestuff and water usage
This leads to lower loads on the Environmental Treatment Plant (ETP), and contributes directly to Vardhman’s environmental targets.
A Shared Philosophy of Performance and Precision
What makes this collaboration truly stand out in the industry is the match in mindset: both CDB by Cretes and Vardhman believe in getting things right from the ground up. It’s not just about the specs of the machine—it’s about building systems that perform consistently, day in, day out, under real industrial pressure.
From engineering to installation, from local integration to global know-how: this is what modern textile partnerships should look like.
