Alok Ind will launch a sheet collection named Suta. Suta fiber is a naturally wrinkle-resistant, anti-bacterial, zero shrink and quick dry yarn that boasts test standards superior to 100 per cent cotton. Alok developed the innovative yarn using its expertise in polymer-based yarns. The manmade fiber can compete directly with the hand feel of a natural cotton fiber.

The collection is made from yarns that weave into a fabric the feeling of cotton. The product has been designed to help manufacturers and retailers decrease risk and volatility driven by single source cotton. Suta can be used as 100 per cent fiber construction and can also be used in blends and with recycled yarns.

Alok is an Indian textile manufacturer with operations in both the cotton and polyester value chain. The company is primarily engaged in the business of textile manufacturing including mending and packing activities. It has four manufacturing locations. The range of products includes fabrics, garments, embroidered fabric saris and terry towels.

Alok was incorporated in 1986 and began activities with the manufacture of texturised yarn by setting up manufacturing facilities at Silvassa. In the company expanded the texturising capacity to 30 machines, knitting capacity to 40 machines and weaving capacity to 170 air jet/ rapier looms.
