About

1950s
Our beginnings are humble. In 1950, Mr Rajiner Pal Sood along with his other family members started the dry-cleaning segment known as Simplex Drycleaners. With more resources to spare and more members of the Sood family interested in helping to expand the business, Mr Rajinder made the necessary arrangements for further expansion. In 1953 a new company, M/s. Oriental Scientific Dyers was registered, the business solely comprised of dyeing a variety of yarns.

1960s
In the early 1960s, the company extended its arm to a new production line which specialised in the dyeing of woollen yarns. These were flourishing years when the need for dyed woollen yarn was increasing, and the Sood family successfully met this rise in demand. The yarns were dyed by ancient techniques that were bought by several hosiery units to manufacture and export garments to Russia.

1970s
Up until now, the company dyed yarns solely by using a traditional copper furnace. Now, in the 1970s, the company brought its very first technology-assisted Cabinet Dyeing machine.
During this decade, we ventured further with dyeing cashmilon yarn. This led to an increase in demand, and the company invested in ten more cabinet dyeing machines in the later years.

1980s
The early 1980s saw a flourish in the textile industry, and in 1983, the father-son duo comprising of Mr Rajinder Pal Sood and Mr Satish Sood entered the booming textile processing industry with the new unit named M/s. Oriental Textile Processing Company Pvt. Ltd. The first stenter machine was installed at this time. The company also installed jigger machines, jet dyeing machines and winch machines to process woven, polly cotton, polyester and acrylic fabric, to name just a few from an otherwise very wide range.

1990s
The year 1990 was a crucial year for the company. The company tested its limits with a variety of new products. Along with its research and development team, the company developed the circular knit shearing fabric also called velvet or blossom – the first of such fabric in the country. This fabric gained popularity quickly, and soon, the country stopped the import from Korea and shifted their interest towards us.

As part of our investments to increase existing production capacity, and as a measure to expand further, we imported several high-temperature, high-pressure Soft Flow dyeing machines from a renowned company of Taiwan, Asia Kingdom.

In 1999, a new sister concerned company was created – M/s. Anmol Knitters Pvt Ltd., on Bahadurke Road, Ludhiana, Punjab. The motive behind this unit was to work with the top corporates of India.

2000s
Circular knitting machines were installed at the Link Road branch, Samrala bypass, Ludhiana. The machines increased the production of a variety of dyed knitted fabrics.

It was during this period that sheering, polishing, lamination, brushing and raising machines were also procured. With business flourishing and the number of machines procured on the rise, it was time to add more space, and the lands adjoining the manufacturing unit were acquired. More number of stenter machine, tubular and polishing machines joined the company force.

With a turnover increase of over 30% and demands reaching soaring heights, the company witnessed a change in the structure of the company. More manpower was procured, and business witnessed tremendous growth.

2018
We moved from the manufacture of synthetic fabrics alone to a cotton manufacturing company. We produced cotton, cotton lycra, polly cotton lycra and a variety of blends to cater to the growing demand of these products by garment manufacturers and traders. Specifically, for this purpose, an expansion was needed in the finishing range of machines thus helped in the development of even better finish of the fabrics.
