Riba Textiles is a family-run Indian manufacturer that turns cotton yarn into finished towels and bath rugs entirely under one roof - no middlemen. Founded in 1989 and shipping its first product in 1992, the company has grown into India’s leading maker of beach towels, exporting to 30 countries from a single integrated plant in Haryana. The recurring approach is simple: own every step from dyeing to stitching, sell directly to department stores and retail chains overseas, and keep adding looms as demand grows. # Business segments A single integrated engine - cotton yarn goes in one end, finished terry towels, bath mats and tufted rugs come out the other, all exported to retail buyers across 30 countries. ## 1. Terry towels and bath rugs: an integrated export mill **Every towel and bath mat is made from scratch inside one 400,000-square-foot plant - the company dyes the yarn, weaves the fabric, and finishes the product without relying on anyone else.** - **Cotton-to-customer under one roof** - the plant in Sonepat, Haryana houses dyeing, weaving, finishing, sublimation printing and embroidery, so the company controls quality and lead times at every stage rather than outsourcing steps to job workers. - **Built for beach seasons on both sides of the equator** - Riba is India’s largest manufacturer of beach towels, with extensive jacquard weaving capacity that lets it supply summer demand in the Northern Hemisphere and then switch to Southern Hemisphere buyers when their season begins, keeping looms busy year-round. - **A product range that covers every towel a retailer needs** - the catalogue spans bath towels, hand towels, face towels, kitchen towels, golf towels, beach towels, bath mats, bath robes and tufted rugs, with an in-house design team creating patterns and the production team refining them. - **Sold to the world’s store shelves, not middlemen** - customers are departmental stores, importers, international retailers, wholesalers and distributors; the top 10 buyers account for roughly a third of revenue, and the US alone takes over 60% of India’s home-textile exports, making it the single largest destination. - **Certifications that open doors** - the plant holds BSCI, ISO 9001:2015 and Oeko-Tex Standard 100 certifications, which are non-negotiable requirements for the most demanding retail chains in Europe and North America. # Group structure and partners **A promoter-family business with no subsidiaries - three family directors run operations alongside three independent directors, and a handful of related-party entities handle peripheral services.** - **Two-generation family leadership** - Mrs. Asha Garg is the mother of Managing Director Amit Garg (with the company since 1994) and Whole-time Director Nitin Garg (overseeing sales and marketing), who run day-to-day operations. - **No subsidiaries or joint ventures** - the company operates as a single legal entity with no holdings in other firms, keeping the structure simple. - **Related-party associates for ancillary needs** - entities named Riba Overseas and Ravi Promoters Pvt Ltd appear in related-party disclosures, with transactions including electricity charges and rent, suggesting they provide facility-related services to the main plant. - **Four board committees for governance** - an Audit Committee, Nomination & Remuneration Committee, CSR Committee and Stakeholders Relationship Committee oversee compliance and shareholder matters.
