Diamond Fabrics

"Last year we bought 42 Picanol airjet machines. They are running extremely well and we are very happy with the performance." Diamond Fabrics was established in 1990 and is part of the Sapphire group of industries. This group is one of the largest vertically integrated textile concerns in Pakistan, employing over 14,000 people and having about 24 production units ranging from spinning, weaving and finishing for home textiles and garments. Diamond Fabrics, located in Lahore, produces household linen which it exports worldwide with the focus on Europe. Besides household linen it also weaves fabrics for workwear and industrial use.

With an output of 84 million meters per annum it is one of the leading and most diversified producers of woven fabrics in Pakistan. A complete in-house spinning facility ensures production of high quality yarns, woven on OMNIplus Summum airjets and OptiMax rapier machines. The airjets run at 1100 rpm with an efficiency of over 97%. With market developments which are making it harder to commercialize grey fabrics, Diamond Fabrics decided to convert the major part of its production capacity to denim. The investments for this project were made and they are in full production since January 2015.
