J.K. Spinning Mills Announces Rs. 161 Million Automation Drive and Major Production Upgrade
J.K. Spinning Mills Limited (PSX: JKSM) has unveiled a strategic investment plan aimed at boosting efficiency, cutting costs, and driving sustainable growth. The company is set to invest Rs. 161 million in advanced automation technology and a major transformation of its yarn production systems.
🔧 Automation Upgrades to Enhance Fabric Production
In a stock market filing, the textile giant announced the addition of two cutting-edge fabric stitching units:
-
An automated flat sheet cross hemming unit
-
A pillowcase side-closing unit
These upgrades are designed to streamline production, improve quality consistency, and reduce labor dependency. The company confirmed that Letters of Credit (LCs) have already been opened and financing arrangements are secured, ensuring timely execution.
♻️ Sustainable Yarn Production: Open-End Spinning Transformation
In a move toward sustainability and resource optimization, J.K. Spinning is converting a 34,224-spindle unit into a modern Open-End Spinning System featuring 6,000 rotors.
This upgrade will allow the company to utilize Comber-Noil waste to produce eco-friendly PC yarns. The revamped unit is expected to begin commercial production by September 2025, contributing to both environmental goals and cost-efficiency.
☀️ Expanding Solar Power Capacity
J.K. Spinning has also taken significant steps toward energy independence. The company has already installed 7 MW of solar power and is currently in discussions to add another 7 MW, doubling its clean energy capacity.
The solar expansion is fully financed, and once complete, will help the company cut energy expenses and reduce its carbon footprint.
📈 A Vision for Profitable and Sustainable Growth
With these new developments, J.K. Spinning Mills is setting the stage for long-term profitability and operational excellence. The strategic investments in automation, renewable energy, and sustainable manufacturing are expected to enhance margins, reduce operational risks, and improve competitiveness in both local and international markets.
“These initiatives are part of our broader vision to position J.K. Spinning as a future-ready, cost-efficient, and environmentally responsible textile leader,” said a company spokesperson.
