About Us

History
Canam International is part of the Canam Group with presence in North America, Asia, Africa and Europe. Through its subsidiaries and associate companies it has been successful in fulfilling its vision of developing an international textile recycling conglomerate. This has been possible due to its unrelenting policy of providing premium quality and service to its millions of customer's world wide. This customer satisfaction derived over the past 15 years has been our group's major achievement. Our India operation was started in 2001 and since then, it has grown from it's humble beginnings to become one of the largest sorting & grading facilities for used clothing in the world, sorting well over 150 million pounds of mixed textiles annually and employing over 1000 people.

Infrastructure
Our factory is strategically located at Kandla Special Economic Zone, Gujarat, India. It enjoys logistical advantages due to it's 20km proximity to the Kandla Port which is one of the largest ports in India. Our factory spreads over 8 acres and adheres to a strict quality program thereby guaranteeing the best possible product for our customers. Moreover, as our export volume has surged, the Government of India has honored us by conferring the Top Export Performer award in the textile category consecutively from 2002-2004, in 2006/2007, and again from 2014-2016.

Our Strength
This is testimony of the hard work and zeal put in by our employees whom we consider to be our biggest asset and strength. Our company can boast of the lowest employee turnover ratio among the units functioning in the Kandla Special Economic Zone and most of the employees have been with us since our inception. This helps us in understanding and meeting the customer requirements in a better way thereby ensuring that the high quality standards we have set ourselves are maintained.

Commitment to Suppliers
We are committed to serving our esteemed suppliers. Due to our heavy requirements and capacity to process mixed rags we are able to offer long term stability to our suppliers. This helps them in planning their outflows hence giving them the option of concentrating on the inflows. Due to the ever changing face of the mixed rags business it is very important to forge alliances directly; therefore we encourage Thrift stores, Charities and other Non-profit organizations in North America and Europe to associate directly with us.
