About Us                        

To fulfill the ever increasing quality control needs of growing man-made textile and chemicals industry in and around the city of Surat in South Gujarat in recent era, an idea was developed to set up full fledged independent textile research centre, textile testing laboratory and textile training institute for region. Considering such demand B-TEX Laboratory was started in the year 2004. Just within, 6-months of its operations, B-TEX became a No.1 private textile testing laboratory for commercial use.

B-TEX has been established to carry out research and development activities as well as to provide testing and technical service facilities to the man-made fibre to fabric, garment industry, chemical industry and process house in South Gujarat region.

B-TEX also has a variety of short term textile training courses for weaving, designing, processing and laboratory technicians. B-TEX also develops and sells textile testing instruments. Turnkey solution to develop an in-house testing laboratory. These equipments are calibrated and certified by the measuring instruments which are traceable to National Physical Laboratory, Delhi.

Achievements

B-TEX Laboratory has developed an indigenous method in multi-filament yarn and fabric testing process which can support industry to make solution at the stage where problem was created.

On 31^st May, 2004, B-TEX has been awarded "Golden Jubilee award" by the hands of Honorable Chief Minister of Gujarat State, Shri. Narendra Modiji.

B-TEX Laboratory is continuously working with Government of India, Ministry of Textiles, Regional office of the Textile Commissioner in the form of seminars and technical awareness programmes.
