What Alif Industries does

Alif Industries is a Surat-based manufacturer and supplier of plastic yarn carriers for the textile industry, founded in 1983 and operating as a sole proprietorship under owner Mr. Saquib Jariwala (also referred to in contact records as Mr. Sajjad Jariwala). The company produces specialized plastic bobbins, tubes, cops, cones, and jumbo bobbins engineered for specific textile machinery applications including TFO twisting, texturising, waterjet weaving, zari slitting/cutting, cheese winding, and conning operations. Its product portfolio is organized by yarn type — fishnet, monofilament, waterjet, zari metallic, spun, and viscose rayon — with offerings such as the Plastic Zari Bobbin for Rolex cutting machines, heat-resistant TFO rolls suitable for heat setting at various TPM, and heavy-weight jumbo bobbins ranging from 185g to 260g. The business markets itself under the ALIF UNICO brand and claims Pan India coverage from a single manufacturing location in Udhna, Surat, Gujarat (GST No. 24ABUPJ7694L1ZP), with a workforce of fewer than 20 employees.

The company's revenue model is straightforward industrial hardware sales: quote-based pricing on a 1,000-piece minimum order quantity, with custom sizing and color variants available per client request. It sells directly to textile manufacturers via inquiry forms on its website (alifunico.co.in), B2B marketplace listings on ExportersIndia and IndianYellowPages, and direct contact channels including phone (+91-261-2278802), email ([email protected]), and WhatsApp (+91-9638681592). Customer testimonials are anonymous and SMB-tier (S.L., Charlie Ji, Shubham, Aman), with no named enterprise accounts disclosed. No revenue figures, funding rounds, patents, certifications, partnerships, or external investors are recorded. The operating geography is India only with no global footprint claim, and there is no digital product layer — no app, API, or AI/ML capabilities are associated with the business.
