The Japan-based TB Kawashima will set up an Indian unit for manufacture of high quality woven and Tricot, circular knitted textile fabrics for car seat, including weaving, knitting, dyeing, coating and finishing process. The Indian entity, TB Kawashima Automotive Textile (India) Pvt. Ltd., with an investment of Rs. 100 crores is coming up in the Kadakola Industrial Area in Mysore district.
In 2010, TB Kawashima was set up to specialize in fabrics for the transportation segment. Now it delivers standard products that satisfy customer requirements worldwide under a strong management. The predecessors of TB Kawashima are the automotive fabric divisions of Toyota Boshoku and Kawashima Selkon Textiles, and Tatsumura Textile AI.
With the tradition, technology and networks that these three companies developed over the years, TB Kawashima’s strength lies in its ability to take full advantage of its close relationship with seat assembly companies to make product proposals.
In October 2011, TB Kawashima merged with its former subsidiary Kawashima Echigawa Factory Ltd. to establish an integrated system that can respond more rapidly at every step, from development to production. This plant will serve as our base for future global production and supply, going from strength to strength in manufacturing capability and quality.
In December 2011, TB Kawashima had acquired a stake in Rayves Automotive Textile Company Private Ltd. from Raymond Ltd. Rayves Automotive Textile was a JV between Silver Spark Apparel Ltd., a subsidiary of Raymond, and Treves S.A. of France, offering printed seating fabric for Tata Motors.
