rPET needle-punched non-woven fabric.
Advanced non-woven solutions — produced in-house on a dedicated needling line, customised to your specification.
Advanced non-woven solutions.
Simtex is Shakti Group's own brand of needle-punched non-woven fabric, manufactured on our dedicated needling line at our sixth plant in Kanpur — a facility built specifically for this production.
The fabric is produced from recycled PET fibre using a purely mechanical process: barbed needles reciprocate through a loose fibre web at high speed, entangling the fibres into a cohesive structure without adhesives, binders, or thermal bonding agents. What you receive is a fabric whose structure is entirely mechanical — dimensionally stable, consistently lofted across its full width, and unaffected by the chemical interactions that adhesive or thermally bonded non-wovens introduce downstream.
We customise to your specification — GSM, thickness, and construction are all built to the requirement of your application rather than picked from a fixed range.
Where Simtex is specified
Safety & Occupational Footwear
Used as shoe lining fabric and insole base substrate. Dimensional stability and consistent loft make it reliable across high-volume, tight-tolerance production. Compatible with standard flame and adhesive lamination, so it drops into existing lines without process changes.
Geotextile
Heavier GSM constructions are specified for separation, filtration, and drainage layers in civil construction, infrastructure, and land management. The binder-free construction matters here — long-term chemical stability in soil contact.
Industrial & Automotive
Automotive trunk liners and interior textile applications, general industrial non-woven components, and packaging where a mechanically bonded fabric is the appropriate material.
Manufactured, not sourced
We manufacture it — we don't source it
Simtex is produced on our own needle-punch looms. Lead times are controlled at our end, lot-to-lot consistency is a function of our own process control, and adjustments to GSM or construction are production decisions — not procurement problems to solve with a third party.
Available pre-laminated
For buyers who need Simtex laminated to a face fabric, we produce the composite in-house. Our needle-punch line and lamination lines are on the same site — the non-woven comes off the loom and goes straight into lamination without leaving the facility.
Production capacity
The sixth plant was built to produce at this scale. Buyers with consistent volume requirements will find our capacity accommodates them without the lead-time volatility that comes from a supplier running non-woven production as a secondary activity on shared equipment.
