FUTURE INITIATIVES
Loyal has won the Texprocil Gold Trophy Thirteen years in a row starting from 2006-07. As India's largest exporter of cotton fabrics, loyal is keen on maintaining its leadership position for ever more years to come! And, while at it, we would also like to become the leading fabric and garment manufacturer using recycled polyester and garment cut waste.
In our continual search for process improvements, we are looking at reducing water consumption in fabric dyeing through more water-frugal processes including the use of dope dyed materials and reopened dyed fabrics waste. This will also help add to our already considerable efforts in environmental management.
We also want to continue to innovate and produce high performance textiles at lower costs by making the most out of the facilities available at our R&D centre at Naidupet.
Firmly on our radar are plans to create luxury brands in men's inner wear and ladies leg wear using unique fabrics with high performance. We would like to initially position these brands in the domestic market before looking for international success. We are also actively seeking to increase the share of our finished products' portfolio in our overall turnover.
Loyal would like to maintain its leadership position in the export of safety garments whilst also creating a brand to cater to the domestic safety wear market.
We recognize that happy employees contribute to happy bottomlines and we would like to be ranked amongst the best employee-engaged companies in the country with the use of online data capture, data analysis and collective use of data to drive employee excellence at all levels.

UNCOMPROMISING OBSESSION FOR QUALITY
Quality assurance is carefully imbibed in every process and is every employee's obsession. It begins at the ginnery. Loyal's cotton selectors choose the gins from where Loyal buys its cotton. The cotton is thoroughly tested using HVI instruments and issued for mixing, using a bale management system which ensures a narrow band of average yellowness and micronaire values.
Fully equipped quality control labs:
- High volume cotton testing to ensure that every bale is tested. Loyal's own bale management system is followed while mixing different bales
- AFIS advanced fibre information system is used to get a clearer picture of the cotton and process slivers
- Mesdon: For online measurement of neps at carding and cambers at all units
- Yarn and sliver quality testing machines including fabric simulator with a software to identify the source of defect
- Tensorapid: Single yarn strength testers to determine the RKM
- Classimat: Loyal is having Class iQON, an advanced yarn fault detection and classification instrument. Using a combination of Visible Light and Infrared technology, the machine detects fibre mass variations, splice faults and foreign fibre contamination, including white polypropylene. Both cleared and uncleared yarn are tested regularly to identify the faults and based on the test results the process parameters and clearer settings are optimised to get the best quality.
