When asked about the future plan of the company, Mr Yash Jaipuria, Chief Executive, Ginni Filaments Limited emphasised that, “The company is strategically positioning itself for expansion into the home care segment.

Collaborations with marketers in the domestic home care segment are in progress, paving the way for the imminent launch of these innovative products. We have set our sights on surpassing 60% capacity utilization in the near future.”

This forward-thinking approach is evident in the company's focused efforts on developing disinfectant and medical products. Ginni's strategic moves highlight a commitment to versatility and responsiveness to market demands.

The consumer products division originated as an integral part of the technical textiles sector. As a public limited company, it has evolved significantly, branching into multiple divisions, operating across various locations, and diversifying its product portfolio.

Since 2006-7, it has been a prominent wet wipe converter, and in 2018, it further expanded its offerings to include a diverse range of liquid cosmetics products for its partners. Backed by a legacy of over 32 years of satisfying consumers, every Ginni product is meticulously crafted to ensure outstanding quality.

With presence in 30 plus countries, Mr Jaipuria on the evolving landscape of the consumer product division said, “In today’s ever-evolving market, it is essential to continuously evaluate and adapt to new trends to stay ahead of competitors.

To ensure this, we are diligently involved in the innovation process, and are constantly searching for new trends to implement in our division.”

Another critical aspect is the solution employed in wet wipe manufacturing. In the pursuit of delivering top-notch quality, Ginni Filaments collaborates with world-class equipment manufacturers renowned for their proven technology and robust quality systems.
