Surat / India based textile manufacturer, Laxmipati Sarees, Siddhi Vinayak Knots & Prints Pvt. Ltd. is one of the leading manufacturer in polyester saree and women dress material in India. Mr. Sanjay Sarawagi (Director) places great value on high quality products.

The Company had always taken initiative on pollution control, safety and conservation of energy. Considering the growing competition and also to further improve upon the fabric quality, the company has always believed in new technology for better quality, performance and safety measures.

Laxmipati Sarees had installed one German made BRÜCKNER stenter in early 2010. This line consists of eight drying chambers, has a vertical chain system and is designed for heat-setting of polyester fabric with high twist yarns at a maximum speed of 100 m/min. Experiencing the performance of this first machine, Mr. Rakesh Sarawagi (Director) was keen to go with second BRÜCKNER machine. The new stenter frame will be utilized and will replace the old technology.
