2. STATE OF COMPANYS AFFAIRS
Yajur Fibres Limited operates a bast fibre cottonising unit in India. Situated in Howrah, our Company is a part of the well-recognised conglomerate, The Kankaria Group. The group has rich experience of over 80 years in the Jute Industry. Our group, in the year 2006, acquired the manufacturing operations of cotton and cotton blended yarns into Yajur Bast Fibres Limited (formerly known as M.F.L Corporation Ltd). Subsequently, we have started manufacturing of premium cottonised bast fibres, including flax (linen), jute, and hemp in the year 2017-18. Yajur Bast Fibres Limited was amalgamated into our Company pursuant to the Scheme of Amalgamation under Section 230 to 232 of the Companies Act, 2013, sanctioned by the National Company Law Tribunal, Kolkata bench, vide order dated January 12, 2023 w.e.f. appointed date of April 1, 2021.
Our Company specializes in producing premium cottonised bast fibres, including flax (linen), jute, and hemp.
We cottonise long & brittle bast fibres into cotton like short staple fibre such that the cottonised fibres can easily blend upto 55% with cotton and man-made fibres in the existing cotton spinning system or similar. Cottonising jute fibres until few years ago was considered a farfetched idea but with robust R&D and diligent commercial production of the same by Yajur has changed the landscape of sustainable bast Fibres altogether. While there are thousands of cotton & polyester spinning mills globally there are less than
400 spinning mills between linen, jute and hemp. Our cottonised Fibres can spin from 10% to 85% in cotton spinning systems and easily blends with natural and manmade fibres. These blended fibres spin at 70% of average cotton spinning speed, while the linen rich blends give similar look and feel like 100% linen fabrics, however the cost of production is 25 % less than original linen fabrics. It has taken away the easy wrinkle issues associated with 100% linen. Our Company has capacity of over 300 MT per month of Cottonised Fiber, Flax Yarn and Jute yarn. Our Company is known for its extensive experience and innovation in bast fibres, which has made it the preferred choice for many top spinning & weaving mills in India, Turkey, Indonesia, Nepal and Bangladesh. Our products are being processed and manufactured in accordance with best practices available globally. Our system and product are tested constantly at each level to ensure international standards of quality in-house. Our Company places a strong emphasis on research and development (R&D) to continuously test and improve its products. We are dedicated to achieving excellence and best in class practices.
Our Companys cottonised flax fibres are known for their softness, cleanliness, and consistency. The fibres high fibre length uniformity given that natural bast fibres can be as long as 10 ft. and negligible trash, providing high yield when blended with other natural or manmade fibres. Our Company also offers cottonised jute and hemp fibres, which have gained popularity for their sustainability and versatility. We are one of the first few companies to commercially introduce cottonised jute fibres spinning at over 90,000 rotor speed and the has pioneered in introducing commercially cottonised jute fibre that can blend upto 55% with cotton or any other natural & manmade fibres in the cotton spinning system or equivalent.
Our Companys manufacturing facility is located in the Jute hub of West Bengal, India. The manufacturing unit is spread across an area of approximately 19 Acres with aprox. 500 meters of Ganges River front situated at Jagannathpur. Phuleshwar, Uluberia, District Howrah, Pincode - 711316.
