Kohinoor Mills is one of Pakistan’s largest vertically integrated textile operations with over 1800 employees and $110 million in sales. Spread on a 90-acre state of the art facility in Lahore, we deliver over 70 million meters of world-class grey, white and dyed fabrics to leading fashion brands and retailers around the globe. The company is involved in three major businesses; Weaving, Dyeing & Finishing and Energy.
Kohinoor Dyeing (KD) was set up in 2002 after a strategic decision by the company to move up the apparel value chain and compete with processing mills in Europe where manufacturing costs were becoming uncompetitive. After 15 years of operations KD is now a market leader in cotton stretch fabrics for the fashion industry. Through our R&D facility we have developed innovative fabrics and hand-feel finishes which have enabled us to become key suppliers for leading global brands like Zara, Levi’s, Ralf Lauren, American Eagle and Next. The division produces 4 million meters of dyed, white and print fabric every month using cutting edge European machinery from Bennenger and Monforts.
Kohinoor Weaving (KW) is the flagship division of the company. Set up as a small 48-loom project on a green field site in 1988, it has now grown into a state of the art facility with 258 high-speed air jet looms from Toyoda and Picanol. The division produces over 40 million meters of grey fabric per annum, which is partially consumed upstream by the Dyeing division, while the rest is exported to clients in Europe and Asia. KW has also diversified its operations into Jacquard and Dobby fabrics for the local fashion industry and luxury clients in the US and Europe.
Pakistan is a developing county that faces energy shortages and outages; this is very detrimental to industrial production. In 2003 Kohinoor Genertek was set up as an independent power plant to supply un-interrupted electricity to the other divisions of the company. The division has an installed capacity of about 30 Mega-Watts electricity and 30 ton per hour steam, which can be produced on a variety of fuel such as gas, furnace oil, coal and biomass depending on price and seasonal availability.
