Today, Max Narrow Fabrics is trusted by industries across India for precision-engineered elastic and non-elastic narrow woven tapes. From apparel to medical, automotive to intimatewear — our products quietly support the quality, durability, and design of countless finished goods.
We pride ourselves on consistent quality, customized solutions, and long-standing client relationships. But behind this business, behind the numbers and machines, lies a story. A story not often told, but one that matters deeply to us.
Because this is not just the story of a company.
This is the story of the man who saw change before it arrived, who had the courage to start again from zero, and who turned uncertainty into opportunity. This is the story of our founder — Mr. Ratnadeep Patil — and how he built Max Narrow Fabrics from the ground up.
A Vision Born from Change
Before he ever stepped into a textile unit, Ratnadeep Patil ran a telephone contracting firm — Ankita Enterprises — working closely with BSNL during India’s landline expansion in the late 1990s.
But the early 2000s brought a technological tidal wave: mobile phones. As landlines began to vanish from homes and offices, most contractors in the industry held on, hoping for stability to return.
Not him.
He knew the world was moving, and he chose to move with it.
The Search for a New Purpose
In the years that followed, he explored new opportunities. The textile industry had always fascinated him, particularly the often-overlooked world of narrow fabrics and trims.
What he found was a sector full of potential, but lacking structure. The narrow woven tape market was highly irregular, fragmented, and unreliable. There were no standards, no consistency, and very little professionalism.
To most, this seemed like a tough market to enter.
To him, it was exactly where he could make a difference.
“If I could bring order to this space, regularity where there was none, then I’d have created something meaningful.”
And so, in 2004, with a handful of looms, a small team, and his trademark perseverance, Max Narrow Fabrics was born.
Building Thread by Thread
The early days were tough — long hours, limited resources, and the steep learning curve of a new industry. But Mr. Patil led from the front. He learned the machines, managed the supply chain, and built relationships with clients one order at a time.
Every setback was met with a solution. Every client, regardless of size, was treated with care. Slowly, Max Narrow Fabrics began to grow — not just in capacity, but in reputation.
From servicing small apparel manufacturers, the company expanded to cater to export houses, lingerie brands, medical product companies, and even automotive and industrial clients.
What remained constant was customization, quality, and dependability —values that Mr. Patil never compromised on.
A Legacy That Continues to Guide Us
Today, we’re proud of how far we’ve come. Our processes are modern. Our product range is wide. Our clients are diverse. But the foundation remains unchanged, built on the vision of a man who saw opportunity where others saw the end.
Now, as the next generation steps in to take Max Narrow Fabrics forward, we do so with deep respect for what’s already been built. We are investing in new systems, digital presence, market expansion, and long-term client partnerships, all while holding close the principles passed down to us.
We are not here to replace the past.
We are here to carry our strength into the future.
Why This Story Matters
Behind every reel of tape we produce lies a story of intent.
A story of risk, of reinvention, and of resilience.
A story that reminds us — and we hope, inspires you — that businesses built with soul always last longer than trends.
To our founder, Mr. Ratnadeep Patil — thank you for starting this journey.
And to everyone who’s been part of it — thank you for believing in us.
This is only the beginning.
