Date: 18 February, 2026
Government Home Science College, Sector-10, Chandigarh organized an educational industrial visit to the Ortech Textile Plant of Tynor Orthotics Private Limited, Mohali on February 18, 2026.
The visit commenced with a comprehensive overview of the company’s journey, mission and innovation-driven growth in the meditech domain, presented by Ms. Jaspreet Kaur, Assistant Manager. Her address enabled students to understand the organization’s evolution and its contribution to advanced orthopedic and healthcare textile solutions.
Subsequently, Mr. Naman Chandel, Head – Product Development and Industrial Engineering (Knits), delivered an in-depth technical briefing. He explained the stages of product development, machinery integration and industrial engineering practices involved in the production of orthopedic supports and medical textile products. His demonstration offered valuable insights into quality standards, material selection and performance-oriented design in technical textiles.
During the plant tour, students observed various operational units, including knitting, stitching, compression stockings manufacturing, CNC-based fabric cutting, finishing and washing, garment assembly cells and AI-enabled inspection systems. They gained hands-on understanding of advanced machinery such as Stoll flat knitting machines for precision knitting, CNC cutters for accurate fabric shaping, heat-fusing equipment and automated quality-control systems. The use of imported technologies from Germany, China, Thailand and Korea reflected the plant’s commitment to global manufacturing standards. A major highlight of the visit was the integration of Artificial Intelligence in fabric inspection, demonstrating how smart technologies enhance efficiency, defect detection and overall product quality in contemporary textile engineering.
Principal of the College, Prof. Sudha Katyal, applauded the collaborative efforts of Department of Chemistry and Department of Clothing & Textiles for organising the visit and emphasized that such industry exposure strengthens academic learning by connecting theoretical concepts with practical applications.
