per cent of sales have been with auto<br />
doffer and most of the machines<br />
have been long frames of 1440 spindles.<br />
The company introduced Toyota’s<br />
Compact System (EST) in India<br />
a couple of years back, and over<br />
120,000 Compact spindles have<br />
been delivered so far.<br />
KTTM is also seriously contemplating<br />
introduction of Toyota roving<br />
frame FL200. The company<br />
is currently conducting market research<br />
and a decision will be taken<br />
in the current year.<br />
“Our product reliability, lower operating<br />
cost, on-time delivery without<br />
price escalation are the strength<br />
of KTTM, keeping us retain our<br />
market share. This has also helped<br />
us in booking repeat orders to the<br />
extent of almost 60 per cent of our<br />
production capacity for which we<br />
are thankful to our esteemed customers”,<br />
says Mr. Parabrahman.<br />
Toyota’s strong philosophy of<br />
“Customer First” is followed at<br />
KTTM too. A pan-Indian sales &<br />
service network provides solution<br />
to customers within the shortest<br />
possible time. They also advise customers<br />
on predictive maintenance<br />
& overhauling of equipment to<br />
achieve optimal machine uptime. A<br />
well-stocked spares section further<br />
supports the customer by ensuring<br />
timely supply of parts with very low<br />
lead time, he adds.<br />
Today most of the leading spinners<br />
in the Indian textile industry<br />
are customers of KTTM, through<br />
Toyota’s global network. It has also<br />
bagged a couple of projects in Vietnam<br />
and Bangladesh.<br />
Mr. Parabrahman is confident<br />
that “in the next 10 years we expect<br />
KTTM to be one of the major players<br />
in the Indian textile industry”.<br />
KTTM also produces a range of<br />
auto components for export. Its auto<br />
parts division has received many<br />
awards for excellence in manufacturing.<br />
The total sales turnover in the<br />
last fiscal was about Rs. 300 crores,<br />
with 60 per cent contribution from<br />
the <strong>Textile</strong> Machinery Division.<br />
