Bismillah textiles is a vertical textile mill in Pakistan. It was established in 1989 as a commercial exporter. Its first year annual sale was less then one million dollars, today its sales are in excess of 35 million dollars. Bismillah has several manufacturing units located in different parts of the city of Faisalabad. Faisalabad is the third largest city of Pakistan and is known as the Manchester of Pakistan because of its textile industry.      

The yarn is sent to different weaving factories for weaving. Bismillah has its own shuttle-less weaving located at Shahkot. A new weaving mill is being set up adjacent to the processing mill. There are 164 airjet looms being installed at this mill.

The woven cloth is brought into the central ware house of Bismillah for inspection, mending and grading. From here A-Grade quality fabrics are sent to the processing unit located in Khurrianwala for further value addition.

Bismillah’s processing unit, with its unique architecture is also very unique in its equipment, products and quality. All of the installed machinery at Bismillah is from Late 90’s.

The greige fabric, according to the orders, is passed through sienging & desizing machine. The machine burns away the lint and loose fibers from the fabric. After sienging the fabric is desized and kept on the revolving stations for 16 to 20 hours. This process ensure the removal of sizing agent and starch from the fabric.

From here the fabric is taken into a process, called bleaching. Bleaching is required whether to prepare fabric for printing or dyeing. Most modern, high capacity, bleaching plant produces in excess of 120,000 meters per day of "prepared for printing" and "prepared for dyeing" fabrics.

A- Frames are accumulated to ensure orderly completion of the orders.

Bismillah has two 16 colour Zimmer printing machines. These machines are equipped with digital repeat setting, and can print fabrics in repeats of 25, 32,36 and 40 inches up to 120 inches wide.

On-line data control system of the printing machine keeps record of all the variables, such as magnet force, rod diameter, pressure, temperature and speed, at which a design is printed. This data is recalled when the design is repeated for printing. This system guarantees consistency in the re-orders of the same designs.

On Monforts Stenter frames, the fabric is finished at a required width. All of the stenter frames at Bismillah are equipped with digital weft control systems supplied by Mahlo. These stenters can finish 120,000 meters per day of the printed and dyed fabrics. A-Frames of finished fabrics wait in queue to be passed through the last process of finishing, that is calendering.

Bismillah has two Ramisch Kleinwefer, high pressure NIPCO calenders and one Beta high pressure calender. These calendars can finish fabrics up to 120" wide in almost every feel and appearance, chintz, soft, firm, down proof and so on.

Finished fabrics are brought into Inspection/Folding Department to grade the Fabrics. Highly experienced and well-trained inspectors pass every inch of the fabric through these inspection machines and grade the fabrics into A-Grade and rejects.

Bismillah, ISO 9002 certified, ensures that the quality standards are followed and met as per the customer’s requirements.

A lab is operated round the clock. Here fabrics and chemicals are tested against required standards. Bismillah has set its minimum quality standards:
