Weaving

First established in 1982 as the company’s primary area of expertise, the weaving division at Nagasakti Kurnia Textile Mills continues to stand as the cornerstone of a highly efficient textile manufacturing operation. Having experienced rapid growth characterized by an increase in the size of its workforce from 150 employees to more than 1,000, this unit presently ranks within the top 3 uniform fabric producers in Indonesia and routinely surpasses the manufacture of 2 million metres of fabric on a monthly basis.

The weaving division’s success in spurring Nagasakti Kurnia Textile Mills to its current industry-leading position is predicated on the use of the latest machinery, operated by human resources that receive comprehensive training on new production techniques. Cooperation with a vast network of technology partners such as Germany-based Sucker Muller, Switzerland-based Benninger and the Japan-based Tsudakoma facilitates the seamless installation of the most advanced models of air jet looms, sizing machines and warping machines, among other cutting edge equipment.

Nagasakti Kurnia Textile Mills also applies this tech-driven focus in implementing an extensive monitoring system to track client orders at all stages of the weaving production line. Through an Online Monitoring Data Log System, the company is able to provide total customer peace of mind and affirms its standing as a trusted textile manufacturer appreciated for its accountability and reliability.

The weaving division at Nagasakti Kurnia Textile Mills is now positioned to capitalize on a local market of immense potential for the manufacture of garments, given the presence of an increasingly well-heeled domestic consumer base and Indonesia’s increasingly dominant regional market position in this industry. In filling the vacuum to supply fabric to both local and international garment manufacturers, the company takes advantage of a highly automized and energy efficient workflow to overcome current challenges faced by its less-nimble competitors, such as rising electricity tariffs and labour costs. Nagasakti Kurnia Textile Mills’ weaving division thereby sets the tone for Indonesia’s textile manufacturers as the new industry archetype.

Dyeing & Finishing

An unwavering commitment to evolving as a streamlined company has seen Nagasakti Kurnia Textile Mills achieve vertical integration by establishing its own dyeing and finishing unit. This division provides customers with the luxury of choice in selecting fabrics specifically designed to match unique colour schemes, and facilitates the company’s ability to cater to rising demand for value added fabrics equipped with specialty features. Nagasakti Kurnia Textile Mills’ dyeing and finishing division is presently able to equip fabrics with anti-stain, anti-microbial, anti-mosquito and water repellant properties in serving local businesses with particular requirements for their employee uniforms as well as in catering to the needs of developed markets abroad.

In keeping with its standing as a modern textile manufacturer, Nagasakti Kurnia Textile Mills carries out its dyeing and finishing activities in accordance with stringent, self-imposed environmental obligations. As one of the first textile factories in Indonesia to have invested in an in-house liquid waste management system, the company recognizes the importance of eco-friendly business practices in adhering to its core corporate values of integrity and accountability, and in winning the trust of prominent clients at home and overseas. Compliance with strict standards of production within the dyeing and finishing division is ensured through cooperation with third party waste management specialists as well as through the influence of an international management team well versed in green textile manufacturing.

Going forward, Nagasakti Kurnia Textile Mills is keen to further its capabilities in being able to offer a broader array of specialized fabric properties. Through this advanced portfolio of value added products, the company intends to expand upon its presence within developed export markets and take the next step in becoming a global textile industry leader.

Drawing upon the experience of skilled human resources overseeing the use of the latest in textile manufacturing technology, Nagasakti Kurnia Textile Mills offers an extensive range of uniform fabrics to meet diverse customer needs. The company’s current product portfolio includes:

In addition to a comprehensive selection of fabric types, Nagasakti Kurnia Textile Mills also makes available a full spectrum of colour options and specialty finishes to cater to the specific needs of domestic as well as international garment manufacturers.

State of the art production facilities coupled with a nuanced understanding of the domestic market situates the company to form close ties with modern clothing companies as well as traditional businesses.
