The Company Description of Its Time
Gokaldas Exports is the factory floor of this letter: a major player in the readymade garment industry across the globe, per the historical record. The overview facts are dense and specific. Incorporated in 1979 and based in Bangalore, India, it is described as one of India's largest manufacturer-exporters and a recipient of highest awards since 1980. It operates 48 fully equipped, modern manufacturing factories, all based in Bangalore, specialises in outerwear, blazers and pants - formal and casual - plus shorts, shirts, blouses, denim wear, swim wear and active and sports wear, and is an ISO 9001:2000 certified company. Capacity is stated at 2.5 million garments a month, with 52,000 employees and a full in-house design team creating collections each season.
In-House Facilities, Unit by Unit
What sets this profile apart is its facilities inventory, quoted here in substance because buyers search for exactly these capabilities. A state-of-the-art laundry with automatic machinery processes over 100,000 garments a day. A polyfill plant produces over 400,000 yards per month, in weights ranging between 40 and 360 gsm. A quilting unit with computerised machines processes over 500,000 yards per month. A printing unit with spider printing machines and printing tables handles 50,000 to 70,000 garments a day. An embroidery unit runs 42 multi-head machines producing appliques, badges and simple and complex embroideries at more than 50,000 pieces a day.
The supporting units complete the picture of a self-contained campus: a label manufacturing unit at over 100,000 labels a day, an elastic unit at over 50,000 metres a day, a woven and bungee cord unit at 40,000 metres a day, a knits manufacturing unit at 500,000 pieces per month, and a carton manufacturing unit. Labels, elastics, cords, cartons - the trims and packaging most factories buy in are made in-house here, which is the practical content of the word integrated for an export manufacturer.
