JK Spinning Mills invests Rs161m to boost efficiency

July 31, 2025 (MLN): J.K. Spinning Mills Limited (PSX: JKSM) is making a strategic investment of Rs161 million to upgrade its fabric division with state-of-the-art automated machinery aimed at improving efficiency, reducing costs, and enhancing product quality, the Company's filing on PSX revealed today. 

As part of this initiative, the company is adding an automated flat sheet cross-hemming unit and an automatic pillowcase side-closing unit.

These advanced technologies will streamline the production process by enabling automatic fabric movement and stitching, while also minimizing manual intervention.

The company has completed all financial arrangements, including the establishment of Letters of Credit (LCs) with banks. The automation drive is expected to increase operational efficiency, reduce labor costs, improve accuracy and consistency, and enhance workplace safety.

In another key move, JKSM is converting 34,224 spindles into an Open-End Spinning System with 6,000 rotors.

This transformation will allow the company to utilize Comber-Noil waste and produce sustainable PC yarns aligned with the standards of international buyers. Commercial production is expected to begin in September 2025.

To further lower energy costs, the company has already installed 7 MW of solar power and is in talks with suppliers to add another 7 MW. Bank financing for the expansion has already been approved.

These steps are part of JKSM’s broader strategy to drive profitability and secure long-term, sustainable growth in a competitive textile landscape.
