A significant milestone has been marked with the announcement of a technology transfer partnership between Yash Textile Machines and Italy-based TEXMA, bringing advanced European stitching and preparation solutions closer to key growth markets. The collaboration brings TEXMA’s globally recognized industrial stitching and preparation systems for tubular and open-width knitted fabrics to India, with Yash assuming manufacturing responsibility for Asia, Russia and CIS markets.
For Yash Textile Machines, a company that has spent over 25 years building a reputation in inspection, winding, packing and automation, this partnership represents a decisive expansion into high-end fabric preparation solutions. For TEXMA, it opens the door to cost-competitive, regionally manufactured machines while preserving European engineering standards.
A Strategic Move to Localize Advanced European Technology
Explaining the thinking behind the alliance, Mr. Navin Sharma, Managing Director, Yash Textile Machines, says the opportunity was both strategic and timely. “Yash is a reputed brand known for its quality and technology in the country, and TEXMA is an international brand specializing in preparation solutions for knitted and woven fabrics. They offer high quality solutions for stitching systems for tubular fabric. As the Indian textile industry is booming, we saw a strong opportunity to bring this technology to India and manufacture the complete solution here at a competitive price.”
Mr. Sharma emphasizes that this is not a routine collaboration but a highly specialized one. “There are only three or four companies in the world offering these kinds of advanced stitching and preparation systems. We understood this is a very unique and special technology, and bringing it to India would be a game-changer.”
Strengthening Both Companies Globally
The partnership is structured as a true technology transfer and regional manufacturing model. Yash will manufacture TEXMA machines in India for Asia and CIS markets, offering competitive pricing and faster delivery timelines.
“What we bring to the table for TEXMA is cost-efficient manufacturing without compromising quality,” says Mr. Sharma. “Manufacturing in India is significantly more economical compared to Europe.
This local production model enhances competitiveness across multiple parameters—cost, delivery timelines and service responsiveness.
“We have been manufacturing textile machinery for many years now,” Mr. Sharma explains. “We have established SOPs, a strong production team, and a well-equipped plant at Ambernath MIDC. Our focus on quality ensures we have very few service calls. But when service is required, our team is prompt and readily available.”
TEXMA’s Technological Edge
TEXMA brings to the partnership decades of pioneering innovation in industrial stitching systems.
As Federico Matarazzo, Managing Director of TEXMA, notes: “Texma is known for its special industrial stitching systems for tubular and open-width knits and jersey fabrics. We were the first company in the world to design and build automatic tubular stitching and bag sewing systems for dyeing preparation in 1999, and automatic linear sewing systems for open-width fabrics in 1996. Our technologies have solved customers’ needs by increasing production capacity in greige preparation, reducing labor costs, improving stitching quality and minimizing fabric waste.”
These systems are widely recognized for enhancing dyeing preparation efficiency while maintaining fabric integrity.
Mr. Sharma underscores the impact of this technology in the Indian context. “This advanced technology is not presently available in India, while comparable European machines generally involve substantially higher investment.”
By bringing TEXMA technology to India, we are enabling Indian and Asian textile processors to improve fabric quality while accessing it at a much more competitive price.”
Building an End-to-End Fabric Handling Ecosystem
The partnership significantly strengthens Yash’s ability to provide integrated solutions across the textile processing value chain.
“Yash has strong expertise in inspection, automation and packaging,” Mr. Sharma explains. “With TEXMA, we can now offer complete pre-finishingsolutions. From grey inspection, roll handling automation and packing to preparation of fabrics for dyeing or finishing, we can handle both tubular and open-width fabrics.”
Our preparation systems enable conversion of fabrics from pile or small rolls into large batch forms at speeds of up to 150 meters per minute. “We can now provide state-of-the-art stitching systems for continuous and high productivity. Apart from the finishing section, we can set up the entire chain for a composite processing unit.”
This capability allows Yash to position itself not merely as a machinery supplier but as a comprehensive solution provider for processing units.
Reinforcing Yash’s Automation-Driven Legacy
The TEXMA partnership aligns seamlessly with Yash’s longstanding focus on automation, digital integration and precision engineering. Over the past 25 years, Yash has built advanced solutions in inspection, high-speed rewinding, automatic cutting and packaging systems, integrating ERP connectivity and cloud-based monitoring.
By integrating TEXMA’s preparation systems into its portfolio, Yash bridges a crucial gap between grey inspection and post-finishing automation.
“Our vision over the next few years is very clear,” says Mr. Sharma. “To build globally competitive textile machinery in India that delivers exceptional quality without compromising on standards.”
Positioning India as a Technology Manufacturing Hub
As India’s textile processing industry expands and modernizes, access to advanced, cost-effective preparation systems becomes critical. The Yash-TEXMA collaboration reflects a broader shift toward technology localization, where global expertise is adapted to regional manufacturing strengths.
For Yash Textile Machines, this partnership marks a significant evolution—from an automation specialist to a comprehensive pre- and post-processing solutions provider. For TEXMA, it creates a strong foothold in Asia with a reliable manufacturing partner.
In an increasingly competitive global textile landscape, this collaboration signals a new chapter—where European innovation meets Indian engineering efficiency to deliver world-class preparation technology to the region.
