Oeko-Tex, a green certification is a prestigious global testing and accreditation. This certification is an endorsement for a product line free from harmful substances and the label reads "Confidence in Textiles-Tested for Harmful Substances". This certification gives the consumer the confidence and assurance of a safe product.
The Oeko-Tex certificate is issued by the internationally recognized Hohenstein Textile Institute, Germany, the official testing institute for this certification. The institute is globally acknowledged by all textiles and associated industries for quality textile products.
"UNITEX" is the only Rubber Thread brand in India to attain this certification for its range of black and white colour threads.

Rubber Thread is a base product for making elastic and other textile products popularly known as Narrow-Woven Textiles. DS Group ventured into the rubber industry in August, 2006, with its state-of-the-art rubber plant at Bodhjungnagar Industrial Growth Center, Agartala. The heat resistant latex rubber thread (HRLRT) plant was set up in technical collaboration with a European company with an investment of Rs 80 crores and an installed capacity of 5000 MT per annum.
