Indonesia’s first new Thermex continuous dyeing range for P.T. Dan Liris

Prior to using the Thermex 6500 continuous dyeing technology – ordered through local representative, DKSH - Dan Liris had relied on an out-dated method that required more time to complete and was less efficient.
Following the successful installation of the new Thermex 6500 Dan Liris is now targeting a level of quality that will allow the company to enhance the competitiveness of its products in international markets.
E-control
The Monforts E-Control system is designed to not only ensure the highest product quality, but also to minimize the use of dyestuff and chemicals, and reduce water consumption.
The system will prove particularly useful to Dan Liris in dyeing its range of fabrics weighing between 60 - 250 gsm. Made from materials including Polyester/Cotton (TC), 100% Cotton, Spandex, 100% Rayon and Polyester/Rayon (TR); these fabrics are manufactured through the use of Shuttle Looms and Air Jet Looms, in sizes ranging from 47 - 69 inches.
Batik beginnings
In 1928, Kasom Tjokrosaputro started a cottage industry business selling batik from door to door in the Indonesian city of Solo in Central Java. His sons, Handoko and Handiman Tjokrosaputro continued the family business by establishing a textile manufacturing company.
Named Dan Liris, in reference to the Javanese philosophy of ‘Udan Liris’, meaning a steady light rain or drizzle, the textile manufacturing company was founded with the expectation that it would be able to achieve strong and stable growth, while delivering prosperity to its shareholders, employees, partners and the surrounding community.

Founded in 1974 initial operations focused primarily on a Weaving Division before quickly expanding to include divisions in Spinning, Finishing & Printing, and Garments by 1976. Today, under the guidance of Chief Commissioner I.P. Elizabeth Sindoro, wife of the late Handiman Tjokrosaputro, the leadership has passed to the family’s third generation following the appointment of Ms Michelle Tjokrosaputro as CEO.

Manufacturing capabilities
Today Dan Liris fully vertical operations include spinning, weaving, finishing & printing and a garment division.
The Spinning Division, with a total of 108,680 spindles has a production capacity of 86,944 bales of yarn per year. This unit serves both local and export markets, as well as providing the company with the materials needed for other textile manufacturing processes.
