Qingdao Haijia Machinery Co.,Ltd is committed to supporting modern textile manufacturers with efficient, scalable, and application-oriented weaving solutions. In Surat, India, Haijia waterjet looms are used as part of General Group’s large-scale weaving platform, supporting the production of polyester and blended fabrics across apparel and home textile applications. This customer case shows how Haijia contributes to the growth of high-capacity fabric manufacturers by fitting into a broader production system built around scale, speed, and long-term industrial upgrading.
For large weaving enterprises, machine selection is closely tied to more than daily output. It affects production stability, installation planning, workflow coordination, and the ability to expand capacity in an organized way. General Group’s manufacturing development in Surat provides a strong example of the kind of industrial environment where Haijia waterjet looms operate: a fast-growing fabric platform with major investment in infrastructure, diversified fabric applications, and a clear sustainability direction.Haijia Solutions in a High-Volume Weaving Environment
General Group has built one of the most robust weaving platforms in the region, expanding from an initial installation of 100 waterjet weaving machines in 2011 to more than 800 waterjet looms over the following years. This weaving base is further supported by nearly 200 airjet looms and around 300 TFO machines, all operating within an approximately 1.5 million square foot manufacturing facility. Within this large-scale setup, Haijia waterjet looms form part of the company’s daily production infrastructure, working alongside other major equipment systems and supporting industrial-scale woven fabric manufacturing.
This kind of installation environment reflects the needs of textile manufacturers that are no longer building isolated loom workshops, but integrated production platforms. In such factories, weaving machinery must support continuity, repeatability, and production coordination across a large installed base. General Group’s operating scale, with close to one crore metres of gray fabrics per month and nearly 2,200 employees, illustrates the level of manufacturing demand that Haijia equipment is helping serve in real customer operations.
At General Group, the waterjet weaving platform is used mainly for polyester and polyester-blended fabrics. These include suiting fabrics, shirting fabrics, abaya fabrics, and furnishing fabrics such as bedsheets and curtains. This application profile demonstrates how Haijia waterjet looms support mainstream synthetic and blended fabric manufacturing where customers require stable output, broad product adaptability, and efficient woven fabric production for large-volume orders.
The customer’s product direction also shows the flexibility required in large weaving operations. Fabric production is not limited to one narrow segment, but extends across fashion, daily apparel, and home textile applications. In this type of environment, Haijia’s value is reflected in its ability to support customers producing multiple woven categories within a single scaled manufacturing platform. That role becomes even more important when the customer is serving internationally recognized brands and managing production expectations across different end uses.
General Group’s development path shows a gradual shift from traditional weaving into a technology-driven and integrated textile platform. The business traces its roots to the early 1970s, later expanded into polyester yarn manufacturing through a Haryana FDY and PTY facility in 2002, then into nylon and acrylic yarns through the acquisition of the JK Synthetics unit in Kota in 2005, before consolidating operations in Surat by 2010. The launch of General Polytex in 2015 further strengthened this transition into an integrated fabric manufacturing center. Within this wider system, Haijia waterjet looms support the weaving stage of a business that has steadily strengthened upstream and operational coordination.
In a factory of this scale, weaving equipment has to work as part of a complete production rhythm rather than as a standalone asset. General Group has also installed auto-drawing machines because of its large weaving installation base, showing that efficiency improvements are being built across the broader weaving workflow. In this context, Haijia equipment contributes to a manufacturing environment where preparation, loom allocation, and continuous operation all matter to overall output and factory organization. This is an inference drawn from the reported scale of installation and supporting automation.
General Group operates an active R&D division with a fully equipped laboratory and sample jet dyeing facilities. Its team works with global brands to analyze fabric samples and develop customized solutions, including polyester fabrics engineered for cotton-like hand feel or specific performance targets. In an environment like this, weaving machinery supports more than production capacity alone. It also supports the consistency and repeatability required when product development moves from trial work into scalable manufacturing.
General Group describes its strategic strength as an integrated manufacturing platform that combines scale, speed, and complexity. That makes this customer case especially meaningful for Qingdao Haijia Machinery Co.,Ltd. It shows that Haijia waterjet looms are operating within a customer model that values industrial-scale execution, shorter lead times, and the ability to serve demanding fabric programs. Haijia’s role in this setting reflects its relevance to textile manufacturers that are building not just capacity, but a more advanced and coordinated weaving system.
General Group has made sustainability a major part of its manufacturing direction. Around 70% of its fabric portfolio is produced using recycled and sustainable fibres, including polyester, nylon, and viscose. The company has also invested in a Zero Liquid Discharge plant and meets 95% of its electricity needs through sustainable sources, while also describing itself as almost carbon neutral. Its renewable energy investments include a 10 MW wind and solar energy plant commissioned in 2018, and its compliance profile includes GOTS, GRS, ISO, BCI, Higg Index, and OEKO-TEX certifications.
The company is also pushing further into backward integration for viscose yarn manufacturing, forward integration into dyeing, and circular textile manufacturing based on regenerated post-consumer textile waste, with a stated goal of becoming India’s largest closed-loop textile fabric manufacturer by 2030. For Haijia, this customer case reflects an important market reality: more textile manufacturers are seeking equipment that fits within a production model shaped by both growth and sustainability.
General Group’s continued investment in capacity and capability, including its recent acquisition of a nylon filament yarn plant in Panoli, Gujarat, and its IPO preparation within the next 15 months, shows a customer with long-term confidence in textile manufacturing growth. For Qingdao Haijia Machinery Co.,Ltd, being part of this kind of production platform is meaningful because it demonstrates the practical role of Haijia waterjet looms in supporting expanding textile enterprises in one of India’s most active weaving regions.
This customer case highlights Qingdao Haijia Machinery Co.,Ltd as a machinery partner serving manufacturers that are scaling fast, diversifying applications, and moving toward more integrated and sustainability-oriented operations. In Surat, Haijia waterjet looms are part of a weaving platform built for large-volume polyester and blended fabric production. That makes General Group a representative case of how Haijia supports modern textile customers with weaving solutions suited to industrial growth, production coordination, and long-term manufacturing development.
