What Shree Karni Fabcom does

Shree Karni Fabcom Limited (SKFL) is a Surat-headquartered, publicly listed manufacturer of technical textiles serving enterprise customers in the luggage, footwear, medical arch support, furniture, and apparel industries. Incorporated in 2023 under CIN L47820GJ2023PLC140106 and listed on the NSE Emerge platform, the company operates through an integrated manufacturing footprint anchored in Surat (knitting, weaving, dyeing/coating) with additional capacity at Navsari (dyeing) and a newly commissioned Noida factory (commercial production commenced 27 June 2025). SKFL monetises through direct B2B sales to brand manufacturers and textile intermediaries, with no publicly disclosed pricing model beyond quote-based contracting.

The product portfolio spans ten-plus fabric categories including PU, PVC, and EVA coated fabrics; air mesh; interlining; rainproof; recycled PET; knit backing; armed forces; and speciality custom fabrics, primarily built from 100% polyester and recycled polyester. Technical capability rests on in-house knitting at 90 tonnes/month, weaving at 70,000 metres/day, and dyeing/coating at 100,000 metres/day, complemented by PVC lamination (15,000 m/day), EVA lamination (8,000 m/day), and PU coating (50,000 m/day). A dedicated R&D and quality control laboratory equipped with spectrophotometers, tensile testers, GSM testers, and rub fastness testers supports an ISO 9001:2015 certified quality management system.

The customer base comprises enterprise brands including Samsonite, VIP, Safari, Swiss Military, Bata, Khadim, Flamingo, Benetton, Tommy Hilfiger, HiDesign, Karam, and Dell. A wholly-owned subsidiary, IGK Technical Textile LLP, handles outsourced weaving, coating, sizing, and embossing. In May 2026 SKFL secured exclusive India distribution rights for an Italian technical knitted fabric manufacturer (1962-founded, 35 million metres annual output, supplier to Nike, Adidas, Speedo, and Lululemon), positioning the company to enter the premium sportswear, swimwear, and activewear segments. IPO capital of Rs. 4,249.44 lakhs raised in 2023 at Rs. 227 per share continues to fund the ongoing capacity buildout.
