The foundation stone of the weaving plant
was laid on 1991 and production began in
1992. Production commenced at 20.000 metres
per day of grey cloth. The finishing factory
was planned immediately after operation of
the weaving plant in order to offer finished
cloth to the world market. This was
completed in 1993. Additional looms were
purchased in 1997 and again in 2001 bringing
the capacity to 1.000.000 metres a month of
finished fabric.
Currently, 2.000 kg of yarn is being folded
and twisted on a daily basis. 6.000 kg of
yarn is dyed on fully automated machinary.
With an average weft density of 29/cm the
weaving shed produced around 40.000 metres
of grey cloth per day on 200 rapier and air
jet looms. In the finishing mill all the
grey cloth is dyed and finished using the
very latest technology.
At
the end of 1997 the finishing factory
entered into brand new markets with the
addition of a coating unit and an ammonia
plant to produce non-iron fabrics. |
