Could the very fabric of this city be woven from dreams? Here at Ruby Mills, it almost seems so. Ruby Mills isn’t just a name; it’s a testament to the textile legacy of Mumbai. Founded in 1917, Ruby Mills quickly became a cornerstone of the city’s industrial heart. This isn’t just any mill. It’s a composite textile mill, meaning it handles everything from spinning and weaving to processing. Imagine cotton, polyester, rayon, and blends transforming into vibrant fabrics within these walls. Ruby Mills operates two main plants. The spinning and weaving happen in Dhamni, while the processing magic unfolds in Kharsundi, close to the Bombay-Pune Highway. This strategic location, about 70 kilometers southeast of Mumbai, provides easy access for raw materials and finished goods. The company’s reach extends far beyond these walls. Ruby Mills is an exporter, importer, manufacturer, supplier, and wholesaler. They deal in everything from cotton and dyed fabrics to hemp, jacquard, linen, lycra, polyester, and viscose. Picture massive machinery humming within: Super High Production Cards, Auto Leveller Draw Frames, Auto Coro Open End Spinning Machines, Auto Coner Winding Machines, and wide-width Picanol Air Jet & Rapier Weaving Machines. Their in-house processing facility handles bleaching, dyeing, and finishing. This allows Ruby Mills to control every step of the textile creation process. Ruby Mills continues its legacy today. The company employs over 1000 people and generates an annual turnover of Rs. 100-200 Crore. It even has its own wholly-owned subsidiary, Ruby Impex. So, as you stand here, before the gates of Ruby Mills, remember, it’s not just a building; it’s a story woven into the very fabric of Mumbai’s industrial history.
