Through all the challenges faced, it has stood strong through each adversity. Without a doubt, it has evolved with time and taken forward its legacy of unwavering values and top-notch services to its buyers. At the event, the Al Ameen team thanked everyone for being a part of their journey through their trust and support. Al Ameen has surely created a name for itself in the market and judging by their commitment to the textile industry, it will surely be celebrating many more anniversaries to come.
Al Ameen has a long history of bringing innovative solutions to Pakistan. The first GRAF state-of-the-art workshop was arranged by Al Ameen 43 years ago. Al Ameen introduced weaving machines in 1947, chemicals (dyes and pigments) in 1948, textile processing (dyeing, printing, and finishing machines) in 1954, spinning machines in 1979, knitting machines in 1989, garment technologies in 2005, embroidery equipment in 2011 and technical textiles in 2016.
The company also deals with pallet and material-handling equipment. Al Ameen was the first to introduce a spinning machine in Pakistan. In weaving, Al Ameen installed the widest loom of 5.4 meters of fabric width in the country. The group is the largest dyeing and finishing machine seller in the country.
The first continuous largest dyeing plant was installed in 1965, and the first rotary printing of Zimmer was introduced in 1969 at KTM Lyallpur (Faisalabad) Zimmer. The largest continuous bleaching and dyeing plant by Goller and Monforts was also introduced Al Ameen. Stenter dyeing using pigments for wider width and air-flow dyeing machine with droplet technology having materials to liquor ratio (M: LR) 1:4 was also introduced by Al Ameen.
“With the textile industry’s ever-changing dynamics and extreme competitiveness, one needs to not only save on costs occurred but at the same time keep in check with sustainability and adapt to ecological and green processes. Al Ameen is adamant about playing its part in contributing a positive impact on the environment and making conscious decisions that affect the world around us and the generations to come. These traits are important in order to stand out as a textile producer from the rest and offer our buyers the best there is in terms of values, product and commitment.” said KM Khalid, Director of Al Ameen Trading.
Al Ameen presented a diverse portfolio of products and services. The big brand representatives were present at Al Ameen’s booth to interact with the customers. At Al Ameen’s space, Monforts focused on the robustness and versatility of the Montex stenter for essential processes such as drying, stretching, heat setting, and coating. With energy prices rising steeply everywhere, features such as the MonforClean system, or the EcoBooster, in which waste heat from the drying process is used to pre-heat the drying air, are proving more invaluable than ever.
Tonello Srl, one of the leading denim machines and garment finishing technologies suppliers, highlighted various technologies for garments, including the Ozone and Obleach at Al Ameen’s space.
Denis Chiarello, Area Sales Manager at Tonello, said, “Denim is becoming more popular globally, and thus, producing denim garments sustainably is challenging. Sustainable garment manufacturing technology, like ozone fading, is getting worldwide attention as it eliminates harmful bleaching chemicals. However, the tone of the garment is not appealing, which is the major drawback. With Obleach, the tone and contrast look amazing. Furthermore, Obleach eliminates chlorine and permanganate. It respects the fiber of the garments and the planet and is decidedly cool, thanks to authentic, contrasted, and reproducible effects. Moreover, the laser fading technology by Tonello imparts a natural look in combination with ozone without the need for aggressive chemicals. Pakistan is becoming the global leader in Denim, and the future of the denim market is vertically integrated mills, and Pakistan has the potential. Together Tonello and Denim Sectors of Pakistan can make a win-win combination.”
Groz-Beckert, the world’s leading provider of industrial needles, highlighted various durable needles and sinkers perfect for the Pakistan Circular Knitting Market. Rassmee Al Dakheel, Area Sales Manager of Circular Knitting at Groz-Beckert, said, “Pakistan’s circular knitted products, especially made of cotton, are popular globally. Our needle and sinker business enjoyed huge success in Pakistan in 2022. Our products SAN™ SF and LS+ needles, are very popular in Pakistan. SAN™ SF increases the intervals between cleaning cycles as it counteracts lint accumulation. The LS+ needle design minimizes friction in the needle trick and gives a better oil distribution, resulting in lower energy consumption and reduced machine temperature. LS+ also reduces energy consumption by 20%. We are further looking to enhance our business in Pakistan in the upcoming years as it is one of the important markets for Groz-Beckert.”
Continuing its legacy, at IGATEX 2022, Al Ameen Trading Corporation introduced Baldwin Technology, a leading global manufacturer and supplier of innovative process-automation equipment, parts, service, and consumables for the printing, packaging, textile, plastic film extrusion, and corrugated industries. Baldwin’s TexCoat G4 non-contact precision-spray technology helps textile finishers up their game by enabling consistent, high-quality finishing with zero chemistry waste and drastically minimized water and energy consumption. Baldwin’s TexCoat G4 system can process a wide range of low-viscosity water-based chemicals, such as durable water repellents, softeners, antimicrobials, flame retardants, and more. Baldwin’s technology utilizes the same chemicals used in the traditional pad bath; no special auxiliaries are required. With a cost-sensitive global economy and an increased focus by brands and consumers on the environment, customers are placing a premium on sustainability in textile production. TexCoat G4’s non-contact spray technology offers numerous advantages compared to conventional methods of applying finishing chemistry.
Rick Stanford, VP of Global Business Development, Textile at Baldwin, said, “We are very excited to kick-off in Pakistan through the platform of Al Ameen Trading Corporation. Pakistan is a big textile market, and we have seen that customers are looking for sustainable textile technologies due to cost-saving and increasing energy prices. TexCoat G4 is the best choice for Pakistan’s finishing sector looking to reduce carbon and water footprints. Al Ameen’s booth was very busy today, and we interacted with many potential customers. I believe that Pakistani textile business people are very focused on investing in new cutting-edge technologies. Thus, we are hopeful for a great impact and good penetration in the market.”
K.M. Zeeshan, Director Al Ameen Trading Corporation, said, “Industrialists are looking for product diversification, new technologies, machines, and processes as international buyers are asking to reduce the costs amid the global economic crisis. This is only possible with the help of regular upgradation to the best possible technologies. Here the Al Ameen Trading Corporation comes into play as it has been trying hard to fill this gap by becoming a bridge between the textile industries of Pakistan and global technology leaders. At IGATEX 2022, Al Ameen has brought its global partners to discuss these issues. The frequency of visits to our booth indicates the customer’s trust in our global partners because most of them are from the EU and are known for their leading technologies and quality of solutions. If the world is introducing new technologies, Al Ameen Trading Corporation is here to bring these to your doorstep. If there is more to serve, Al Ameen is here to do it with Pride and Dignity that you can Trust! “
