2021 was a year of recovery and new challenges for the textile industry Pakistan’s textile industry witnessed remarkable growth and record breaking export performance in 2021. One of the main reasons of this outstanding performance was the successful management of the Covid 19 pandemic by the government vis a vis

competing countries such as India and Bangladesh. Many orders from these two main textile and apparel producing countries were diverted to Pakistan. On the other hand, due to increasing acrimony between the USA and China, the American importers of garments and textiles have also diverted their business to Pakistan and other countries. Performance of Pakistan’s textile industry has been exemplary in 2020-21. In comparison, the previous fiscal 2019-20 year was not a performing year for the industry. All categories of textile exports showed decline last year to various degrees vs 2018-19. Some of that could have been attributed to the Covid 19 lock-down in

2019-20. However, in 2020-21 the recovery has been nothing but remarkable as all categories of value added exports excluding yarn and fabrics showed significant growth not only against previous year 2019- 20 but also against pre pandemic 201819. Detailed statistical analysis can be found at the end of this issue in our Annual Fact File which includes the data until June 2021, the end of the last fiscal year. It is encouraging to note that the growth in the value added exports continues unabated and is expected to retain the momentum even in the second half of 2021-22. One of the factors that has contributed to export resurgance has been the negative performance of Pakistan's Rupee that has continued to decline having lost 12.5% of its value against the US$ since its recent high in May. It has depreciated by 9.5% during the ongoing fiscal year. While assisting exports this has also resulted in high inflation. The continued gap between exports and imports and the underlying factors including poor policy decisions over the last few decades, have resulted in the chronically high trade deficit. The State Bank of Pakistan introduced the flexible market-based exchange rate regime in June 2019 that has enhanced the competitive position of the country by encouraging exports. Unfortunately, imports have continued to rise as well offsetting some of the gains from the growing exports. Imported inputs including raw cotton, contribute significantly towards the increased cost of producing textile and apparel destined for exports. The industry is also facing a serious challenge of energy shortage due to short supply of natural gas and the mismanaged energy policies as indicated in our previous editorial. Serious attention required to maintain the momentum of growth and ivestments to retain the hard earned competitive position by our textile industry. 

Major investments and expansions have been made for value-addition including from semi-finished to finished goods, raw cloth to dyed cloth to garments for example, he maintained. “Since things are in the right directions at present, we will surely achieve our targets and even more this year subject to continuation of pro-exports’ policies.,” The association has termed textile growth in November and July to November, 2021 a good omen for the textile industry.

Over 7.2 m cotton bales reach ginneries across Pakistan Seed cotton (Phutti) equivalent to over 6.8 million or exactly 72,74,239 bales have reached ginning factories across the country till December 15, 2021 registering increase of 43.83 percent as compared to corresponding

News & Views period of last year. According to a fortnightly report of Pakistan Cotton Ginners Association (PCGA) recently released, over 7.2 million or 72,12,028 bales have undergone the ginning process i.e converted into bales. Cotton arrivals in Punjab were recorded at over 3.7 million or 37,73,609 bales registering a surplus of 26.68 percentage compared to corresponding period of last year when arrivals were recorded 29,78,878 bales.

Meeting cotton target vital for economic stability The Punjab government is taking various steps for the revival of cotton as it is it pertinent to meet the target of 20 million bales for the stability of the country’s economy, Punjab Minister for Agriculture Syed Hussain Jahania Gardezi said recently. While addressing a conference on sustainable solutions for cotton restoration, the minister added that the government is taking steps for the revival of cotton and in this regard, approved varieties of cotton were promoted this year in collaboration with the federal government. “Standard and approved varieties of cotton are being promoted this year in collaboration with the federal government and 19 new cotton varieties have been approved with DNA fingerprint which will help in preventing substandard cotton seed in future,” he said. He further informed the gathering that the cotton crop was cultivated at an area of over 3.1 million acres this year

and it had yielded more than 5.1 million bales while cotton production in Punjab ballooned by 50 per cent during the ongoing fiscal year compared to the previous year. Similarly, over 7.2 million bales of cotton had arrived in the factories till December 15 against last year’s figure of around 4.6 million bales. “Factories received 2.5 million extra bales this year,” he said. Welcoming the increase in cotton production, he said that the surplus production over the last three years has brought a wave of happiness amongst farmers and the textile industry. He urged the Ginners Association to use new technology for ginning, adding that most ginning factory owners are currently using traditional methods which has reduced the demand for Pakistan’s cotton in the international market. Concluding his address, he said that Punjab had witnessed record production of six crops including wheat last year and hoped that cotton will also be among the record yields by next season.

Textile exporters consider legal challenge to gas price increase Textile industry, disappointed at massive jump in gas prices, is considering making a legal challenge to a government upward revision in gas tariff. All Pakistan Textile Mills Association (APTMA) has decided to contest the 38.46 percent increase in gas tariff before the Lahore High Court “what it called to avoid any negative implications for the textile industry”. According to a letter to members, APTMA noted that the government increased the rate of regasified liquefied natural gas (RLNG) from $6.5 to $9/ MMBTU for export-oriented sectors. “Stakes are very high particularly for the industry located in Punjab as continuous gas supply @$ 6.5/ MMBTU to entire value chain, as approved by the cabinet till June, 2022, is the only workable energy source for their viability and competitiveness viz a viz regionally and rest of the country,” correspondence to members reads. “Under these circumstances, after due deliberation, APTMA has decided to contest the increase in gas tariff before the Lahore High Court.” The government had decided to increase gas tariff for textile units by 38.46 percent to $9/mmBtu from present $6.5 from November 15, 2021 for three and half months, which was dubbed by industry as a “setback for export-oriented units”. A senior member of All Pakistan Textile Mills Association (APTMA) earlier was upbeat about reversal of the tariff hike as they had proactively taken up this

issue at the highest level. “We have made it clear to the government that exports of textile will be adversely affected due to resultant high cost of production,” he said. “If implemented, the government's decision to increase captive power gas tariff for export-oriented industry by whopping 38 percent will add to cost of production.” “Besides, it will further create distortion in already lopsided energy market of the country,” he added. However, it seems that APTMA’s efforts were in vain as these met with a lukewarm response from the government. On the other hand, petroleum division on November 30, 2021, asked Sui Northern Gas Pipelines Ltd (SNGPL) to take steps for eliminating misuse of concessionary natural gas tariff, if any, by exportoriented industry to ensure efficient use of the gaseous fuel.

Faisalabad DC describes exporters as ‘economic soldiers’ Industrial sector of Faisalabad has infused a new spirit of dynamism and the district administration is trying its optimum best to further improve the local infrastructure to facilitate it with a focus on the valueadded textile sector, said Ali Shahzad Deputy Commissioner Faisalabad. Addressing the business community in the Pakistan Hosiery Manufacturers & Exporters Association (PHMA), he appreciated the role of exporters in strengthening the national Ali Shahzad Deputy Commissioner Faisalabad economy, providing much needed revenue to the Government and creating maximum job opportunities for the burgeoning population.

He termed exporters as economic soldiers who are fighting on this front and trying to bolster the national economy. He said that infrastructure will be developed in a planned manner which will serve the industrial sector to continue its productive activities without any hassle. About Millat Industrial Estate, he said that its problems would be resolved in consultation with the stakeholders and he will also take up its issues with the relevant ministries to build a housing society exclusively for the workers of this industrial estate over 12 acres of land. He said that this proposed project could also be discussed with the Naya Pakistan Housing & Development Authority (NAPHDA) to ensure its early completion.

AUSTRALIA Australian wool prices rise slightly Australian Wool Eastern Market Indicator (EMI) finished at 1346ac / clean kg. This was a 5ac advance every week. Western Market Indicator (WMI) increased by 4ac to 1404ac / clean kg. The continued weak AUD (AUD) exchange rate against the US dollar (USD) has helped foreign users again, and USDEMI has reduced 2usc to 965usc / clean kg. During the week, the AUD / USD rate was even lower, allowing buy-in levels cheaper than the USD closing price. China’s first-tier manufacturers have maintained recent buying pressure and have had a strong impact on auction competition. This has forced traders and indent buyers to increase their ante within the amount obtained. New business opportunities for exporters were available, but very sporadic and limited in quantity-mainly what foreign buyers want and what sellers are ready to

The continued weak AUD (AUD) exchange rate against the US dollar (USD) has helped foreign users again, and USDEMI has reduced 2usc to 965usc / clean kg. “Current ongoing issues with international logistics have contributed significantly to the performance of the current market. Shipments are unpredictable at best. Reserved vessels arrive and depart, are delayed, or arrive at all. Container access and port delays also play a negative role. Combining these issues with the three-week Christmas holidays makes local auction buyers’ commercial decisions even more difficult. It increases the risk, “added AWI’s commentary.

BANGLADESH Bangladesh surpasses China, Vietnam and Indonesia in export growth rate The growth rate of RMG exports of Bangladesh to United States of America has surpassed that of China, Vietnam and Indonesia in the first 10 months of 2021. According to US Department of Commerce, Bangladesh’s export earnings from the US increased by 27 percent during Jan-Oct period compared to last year’s corresponding period while the China’s export growth was 25 percent, Vietnam’s 14 percent and Indonesia’s 10 percent. In fact, the Office of Textiles and Apparel (OTEXA) of the Department of Commerce shows Bangladesh, the third largest exporter of garments to the United States, earned 5.7 billion dollars from apparel export to the US market in the Jan-Oct period. According to textile industry insiders, the Covid-19 pandemic led to a sharp decline in China’s production of readymade garments. Besides, the production has also been disrupted in Vietnam and Indonesia. As a result, garment manufacturers in Bangladesh have received additional work orders. BGMEA First Vice-President Syed Nazrul Islam said, “After struggling for a long time since the pandemic began, the readymade garment sector started to recover. We were getting good response from buyers. However, Omicron, the new variant of Covid-19, has posed a new threat to the sector.”

PAKISTAN TEXTILE JOURNAL - December 2021

“Lockdown has been imposed in many countries of Europe. As a result, outlets are now almost closed. Although we haven’t observed any effect of the new variant in export yet, we fear that a large number of orders might get cancelled if the situation gets worse.” he added.

BRAZIL Cotton prices rise for 5th consecutive month in Brazilian market Cotton prices increased for the fifth consecutive month in Brazil’s domestic market in November. The CEPEA/ESALQ Index for cotton rose by 5.25 per cent to BRL 6.2602/pound on November 30. Earlier on November 26 it had set a new nominal record in the series of CEPEA, by closing at BRL 6.3389/pound, surpassing the previous record of BRL 6.30/pound. The monthly average, at BRL 6.1111/pound, is a nominal record in the series of CEPEA, 3.42 per cent higher than that in October 2021, according to the Center for Advanced Studies on Applied Economics (CEPEA). “Values were underpinned by sellers’ firm stance on prices, increases in the export parity price and high values abroad. As most Brazilian farmers have sold a large volume of the 2020-21 output, they are now prioritising deliveries to both the domestic and the international markets,” CEPEA said in its latest fortnightly report on the Brazilian cotton market. “Traders have been purchasing cotton to accomplish contracts, and some purchasers are trying to ensure the product for delivery along 2022, which increased liquidity for term contracts for the 2020-21 and 2021-22 seasons. The agents from processors with urgent needs had to pay higher prices for cotton,” the CEPEA report added.

CHINA China's textile industry witnesses robust growth in 2021 1st 10 months China's textile industry continued steady expansion in the first 10 months of 2021, according to data from the ministry of industry and information technology. The combined operating revenue of major textile enterprises rose by 14.2 per cent year on year (YoY) to top 4.13 trillion yuan ($650.4 billion) during the period, the statistics showed. These firms raked in total profits of 198.3 billion yuan, soaring by 29.7 per cent over a year earlier, the ministry said. China's online retail sales of clothing products grew 14.1 per cent YoY in the January-October period, hitting 3 per cent average growth over the past two years, official Chinese media outlets reported. The country's garment and textiles exports rose by 5 per cent YoY to $256.5 billion in the period, with the exports of clothing products surging by 25.2 per cent to $138.9 billion.

Around the World Chinese textile chamber urges US to revoke sanctions on Xinjiang items The China Chamber of Commerce for Import and Export of Textiles recently urged the United States to revoke all its sanctions on Xinjiang-made textiles. The US move completely violated market principles and the rules of the World Trade Organisation, disrupted international trade order, and severely damaged the interests of textile-apparel manufacturers and consumers on both sides, the chamber said in a statement. The United States recently signed the ‘Uyghur Forced Labour Prevention Act’ into law, which bans imports of textilerelated products from China's Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region (XUAR). The US accusation of so-called ‘forced labour’ issue is purely fabricated out of thin air and has no factual basis, the statement said. It stressed that China's textile and apparel industry has been committed to safeguarding workers' rights and interests, and has provided stable and efficient supply chain services for the global market, official Chinese media reported. For the common interests of both sides, the chamber is willing to strengthen communication with related organisations and sectors from the United States, and strive to maintain the stability of bilateral economic and trade relations in the textile and apparel industry, the statement added.

CAMBODIA Cambodia imports fabrics worth $3.5 bn in 1st 9 months of 2021 Cambodia’s garment sector showed decent performance in production, exports and growth in orders, while it imported fabrics worth $3.5 billion in the first nine months this year—an increase of more than 25 per cent, according to the latest World Bank, which said garment exports to the United States rose by 31.9 per cent to $ 3.4 billion in September 2021. According to a report by the country’s general department of customs and excise, in the first nine months of 2021, exports for garments amounted to $8.24

billion, an increase of about $843.4 million or 11.4 per cent compared to the same period in 2020. Kaing Monica, deputy secretary general of the Garment Manufacturers Association of Cambodia, said the increase in imports of raw materials for garment production this year was in line with the growth of exports of garments and travel products. He said the growth in each sector differs slightly with clothing seeing the lowest growth of about 5 per cent between January and September this year, but footwear sector increased by approximately 15 per cent and for travel products by more than 30 per cent compared to the same period last year, Cambodian media reported.

Vardhman around 26 per cent and Trident 16 per cent rise during the first half of this fiscal compared to the prepandemic levels in 2019-20. “The figures would have been better if the first half of the year was not affected by the second wave and the shipping crisis also hit the industry. We expect textile and apparel exports to touch around USD 45 billion by the end of the fiscal year, outshining pre-Covid numbers,” said A Sakthivel, chairman, Apparel Export Promotion Council (AEPC) as published by business standard.

Indian textile ministry issues guidelines for INR 10,683 cr PLI scheme The Indian ministry of textiles issued the operational guidelines for Production Linked Incentive (PLI) Scheme for textiles for promoting manmade fibre (MMF) and technical textiles segments. An Empowered Group of Secretaries (EGoS) chaired by cabinet secretary will monitor its progress and address issues within the overall financial outlay of INR 10,683 crore. The EGoS will also undertake periodic review of the outgo under the scheme; ensure uniformity with other PLIs, make changes in the modalities of the scheme and take appropriate action to ensure that the expenditure is within the prescribed outlay, the ministry said in a notification recently issued. Application window for registration under the Scheme will be opened for the period from 1st January, 2022 to 31st January, 2022 through the online portal. The Scheme is in operation from 24th September, 2021 (Date of Notification) to 31st March 2030 and the incentive under the Scheme will be payable for a period of 5 years only. The PLI Scheme is intended to promote production of MMF apparel & fabrics and technical textiles products in the country to enable textile industry to achieve size and scale; to become globally competitive and a creator of employment opportunities for people. The scheme is to support creation of a viable enterprise and competitive textile industry.

SRI LANKA Sri Lanka worry about textile raw material sourcing According to the Sri Lanka Apparel Exporters Association, US$250 million of US$500 million received for local apparel exports are lost as the country imports all the necessary material like thread, dyes and cloth. Keeping in mind the economic crisis faced by the nation, the Sri Lankan government has declared the apparel industry as an essential service and allowed factories to remain open during the quarantine curfew. The Joint Apparel Association Forum issuing a press release stated that all measures are been taken to ensure a safe and secure workplace for their employees. However, Anton Marx of the Free Trade Zones and Public Service Union, alleged that the spread of COVID-19 among the garment factory workers is high. Marx further stated no government has yet attempted to create safe boarding places for apparel sector workers and that the daily wage of a garment factory worker is often less than Rs. 1,000.

TUNISIA Tunisian Clothing Exports to European Market Up 11 Percent The Tunisian clothing exports on the European market were up by 11.27% in the first 8 months of 2021 compared to the same period in 2020, according to the results of an analysis conducted by the Textile Technical Centre (CETTEX) on the European clothing imports. In value, exports stood at about Euro1.1 billion during the first 8 months of 2021. Tunisia is the EU's 9th largest supplier of clothing with a market share of 2.69%, according to this analysis published recently. Despite a drop in European imports, some suppliers increased their clothing exports to the EU, including Tunisia, achieving better returns with an increase of 11.2% of their exports to this market. Tunisian exports of jeans to the European market were worth about

€208 million in 2021, against €180 million during the same period in 2020, up 15.96%. Tunisia is the EU's 4th supplier, after Bangladesh, Turkey and Pakistan, with a market share of 9.07% in value and quantity. This jeans export value equates to 11.59 million pieces of exported denim trousers against 9.9 million pieces exported in 2020. The average price per piece showed a decrease of 5% during the first 8 months of 2021, compared to the same period in 2020. As the main supplier of Jeans to the EU, Tunisia holds the highest average price of €18.01 per piece against €18.14 for the same period of 2020. These results show that Tunisia confirms once again its know-how on the top-of-therange Jeans niche, according to this analysis.

USA U.S. Cotton Trust Protocol Closes Out Fruitful First Year Fashion companies are facing intense scrutiny and pressure to prove their supply chain’s sustainability credentials as consumers become increasingly curious about the environmental impact of their clothing. In particular, raw materials are under the microscope as the building blocks for apparel. And due to its ubiquity and much-discussed eco-footprint, cotton is a chief focus of the environmental investigation.

PAKISTAN TEXTILE JOURNAL - December 2021

In response to this greater need for sustainability information, the U.S. cotton industry launched the U.S. Cotton Trust Protocol program last year. The Trust Protocol was designed to deliver a better future for U.S. cotton by encouraging responsible growing practices that support a healthier environment. The scientifically based initiative is centered on six quantifiable and measurable sustainability metrics: land use, soil carbon, water management, soil loss, greenhouse gas emissions and energy efficiency. Along with tracking and measuring progress, the Trust Protocol allows cotton growers and members throughout the supply chain to more effectively communicate about the efforts being made in cotton sustainability. And the data collection helps to dispel myths about cotton’s impact—from the effect on soil health to how much water is really used on crops. Since the U.S. Cotton Trust Protocol launched in 2020, its membership has quickly ballooned to include more than 560 brand, retailer, mill and manufacturer members, such as Levi Strauss & Co., Gap Inc., PVH Corp., Tesco and Gildan. The Trust Protocol has also gathered grower members, and to-date, more than 950,000 bales have been entered into the system. “The U.S. Cotton Trust Protocol was created to set a new standard in more sustainable cotton, and we are proud of the significant achievements made in the

program’s first year,” said Dr. Gary Adams, president of the U.S. Cotton Trust Protocol. “Our goals are rooted in the idea that U.S. cotton production can contribute to the protection and preservation of the planet by using sustainable and responsible growing techniques.” Also in its first year, the U.S. Cotton Trust Protocol was added to Textile Exchange’s list of preferred fibers and materials. The Trust Protocol is one of 36 fibers and materials that more than 170 participating brands and retailers can select from as part of Textile Exchange’s Material Change Index program.

VIETNAM Vietnam seen as manufacturing hub for global brands During the fourth wave of the Covid19 pandemic from June until September 2021, several fashion brands began to gradually move production and orders away from Vietnam. This decision was made so as to reduce transport costs and adjust to the disruption in the supply chain, which has become a serious concern for many export-import businesses. Nonetheless, Vietnam still remains a huge manufacturing hub for several global fashion giants. The Japanese fashion brand Uniqlo is familiar to many Vietnamese consumers.

It opened its first shop in Vietnam in December 2019, and it has since opened nine retail shops in Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City, along with a recently opened online shop. Uniqlo will certainly expand its business in Vietnam in the next few years, because Vietnam is considered a big market by the company due to its large young population, high per capita income, and a growing middle class. Furthermore, Vietnam is the second biggest manufacturing base for Uniqlo. In particular, Uniqlo purchases products of 45 Vietnamese apparel companies for the domestic and international markets. The company highly values the improved quality of the Vietnamese workforce. The Vietnamese textile and footwear industry has become more and more important in the global supply chain of several international giants. The world famous brands Nike and Adidas are buyers from about 200 Vietnamese suppliers. For instance, Vietnam provides 30 percent of the products that Adidas supplies to the global market. Even during the peak of the Covid-19 pandemic in Southern Vietnam, Nike still trusted the Vietnamese suppliers the most. Viettien Garment Corporation, for instance, has not lost a single order from Nike despite the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic. The latest figures from the World Trade Statistical Review 2021 released by the World Trade Organization show that Vietnam has overtaken Bangladesh to becoming the world's second largest exporter of readymade garments, reaching a market value of US$29 bn in 2020, just behind China. Garments made in Vietnam make up 4.6 percent of the world market. Vietnam has recently produced lots of high quality garments because of the improved quality of its workforce. Together with the garment sector, the Vietnamese footwear products are playing a more and more important role on the world stage. The Vietnam Industry and Trade Information Centre of the Ministry of Industry and Trade cited data from the World Footwear Yearbook, showing that Vietnam ranked second in the world in footwear exports, reaching 1.23 billion pairs in 2020. With this result, for the first time Vietnam surpassed 10% of the world total footwear exports by reaching 10.2 percent, and increasing by 4.4 times compared to 2011 when it was just 2.3 percent, with 316 million pairs of shoes being exported. Vietnam has become the world's largest exporter of canvas shoes in terms of value, outstripping even China. This is the first time that China has not led the export of a particular type of footwear. Several world famous footwear brands like Nike, Adidas, Reebok and Puma have had large quantities of their products made in Vietnam. The prospect of the Vietnamese footwear industry is very likely to go even further, since China continues to reduce incentives for investments in footwear in order to focus on high-tech technology, making international footwear orders move from China to Vietnam.

Unique solutions for processing Viscose with AirJet Spinning Fiber consumption is on the rise, and man-made fibers play an important role in this. The consumption of cellulose fibers is growing the fastest and, due to their attractive properties, they are appreciated by spinning mills, downstream processing, and end users. The air-jet spinning machine J 26 offers new solutions for processing viscose with high productivity and quality. As population growth and prosperity increases, so does the consumption of fibers across the globe. While this holds true for all staple fibers, the use of man-made fibers such as cellulosic staple fibers and synthetic staple fibers is growing particularly quickly. The consumption of cellulosic staple fibers is expected to double to 10 million tons by 2030 while the consumption of synthetic staple fibers is expected to grow by 48% to 28 million tons compared to 2015 (Fig. 1). Rieter addresses these market needs and continuously develops special technology components and solutions for man-made fibers and blends for all end spinning processes.

Air-jet spinning strong in viscose Air-jet spinning is the dominant choice for processing cellulosic fibers – mainly viscose – and their blends with cotton. The high productivity and the low yarn conversion costs of

viscose make it an attractive raw material for spinning mills. Along with its special properties, like less fluff and fly in knitting and weaving, it is also popular in downstream industries. End users particularly appreciate the excellent pilling resistance and wash resistance of the finished products.

J 26 with new features

Figure 1: The consumption of man-made fibers is expected to increase in the coming years.

PAKISTAN TEXTILE JOURNAL - December 2021

The air-jet spinning machine J 26 offers several unique features for processing viscose. The new spinning nozzle housing “Z+1 High Speed” with a reshaped fiber feeding element ensures high yarn tenacity and production speed at the same time. The delivery speed can be increased to 480m/min for 100% viscose Ne 30 without a loss in yarn quality. With 19 cN/tex, the yarn strength is the same as with the existing “Z-1” housing with a

Feature

17% lower delivery speed of 400 m/min (Fig. 2). This reduces the yarn conversion costs because the air pressure for twisting remains the same at a higher production speed. The J 26 is also well suited for processing blends with polyester: cotton with a proportion of up to 50% polyester and viscose with a proportion of up to 80% polyester.

This results in fewer red lights and a reduced workload for operators. Spinning mills report a 50% reduction in operating time per event and red lights that are active for only 5 to 11 seconds compared to 25 to 45 seconds with a closed spinning nozzle housing.

Best package quality for downstream processes

Simplified handling and easy operation In addition to increased productivity, the operation has been simplified thanks to the option of opening the housing of the spinning nozzle. This means the nozzle and the housing can be cleaned easily and effectively without having to remove the ceramic spinning tip (Fig. 3).

The J 26 offers pneumatic package damping for uniform package quality and efficient unwinding for downstream processes. Packages containing manmade fibers, especially viscose, tend to be very hard with even harder edges. This results in an unwinding that is unstable and brings about yarn breaks. To prevent

the yarn from breaking, the density is kept consistent over the complete package build-up. The unique stroke respiration softens the edges ‒ which is the secret for best unwinding performance. The optimized winding enables a 20% higher package weight with man-made fibers at the same diameter. This results in higher machine efficiency thanks to 20% fewer doffings. Weaving and knitting machines also benefit from less handling and less stops.

About Rieter Rieter is the world’s leading supplier of systems for short-staple fiber spinning. Based in Winterthur (Switzerland), the company develops and manufactures machinery, systems and components used to convert natural and man-made fibers and their blends into yarns.

Health, safety & environment with automatic fire suppression system Introduction Enormous changes took place across the industries globally due to COVID-19. HSE procedures focused on health and at workplace also revised. Fire safety is one of the major addressable jobs for industries, commercial and residential areas. Fires are avoidable if we improve the standard of prevention through right practices.

Types of fire There are 6 types of fire, classified and identified by the kind of materials found in the location where the fire exists.

Types of fire extinguisher Fire extinguisher is a crucial element of comprehensive fire safety in industries and working areas. It is also required by local and international legal health and safety regulations.

functions that leads to electrical fire. Fire causes loss of human and asset. This fire needs extraordinary and immediate extinguishing action without any delay.

Introducing automatic fire suppression system Electrical equipment fire suppression systems have been specifically designed to protect the equipment and put off electrical fires caused by electricity leakage (class E fire) quickly and efficiently without any personal interaction automatically.

Beaulieu International Group

B.I.G. Yarns announces major investments in new yarn technology Building a strong future. B.I.G. Yarns reveals significant investment in its nextgeneration Polyamide (PA) technology to help global carpet tile manufacturers meet the demands of the contract market. In addition to this key investment, the company also announces its decision to become a new producer of polyester (PET) yarns for the automotive industry. The two announcements, made today, reinforce the business’ leadership in yarn innovation and commitment to being at the forefront of supporting changing end-market needs. B.I.G Yarns is stepping up its focus on developing and producing one-step 3Ply PA yarns using next-generation technology to answer needs for flexibility and broader design options in the carpet tile segment. Total production capacity for one-step 3Ply yarns will increase by > 20% through new lines installed at the plant in France, creating higher output and greater supply security by serving customers from all three of its global plants. The new lines use B.I.G. Yarns’ cutting-edge PA yarn technology which expands design, contrast and colour

freedoms for carpet tile manufacturers, and increases flexibility in lot sizes. These advances enable customers to respond quickly to developments in the contract market. In addition, the new technology features a higher level of automation which improves ergonomics for B.I.G. Yarns’ employees. Importantly, it also optimizes energy use which contributes in energy savings at the French site specifically. The new production lines will be deployed from mid-2022. To enhance support for a future of more sustainable automotive interiors, B.I.G. Yarns will enter into PET yarn production for the first time and offer a portfolio of PET yarns by the third quarter of 2022. These will be available for automotive applications alongside its EqoCycle® recycled-based PA6 yarns. Emmanuel Colchen, General Manager, B.I.G. Yarns, comments: “With the additional capacity in the best-in-class 1 step 3ply PA yarns technology and expanding our portfolio into a new direction with PET, B.I.G. Yarns is taking strategic steps to better serve the evolving needs of its customers. We are opening up exciting new opportunities with a continuous focus on innovation

and sustainability. We will generate an important step that will support our goal of reducing our carbon footprint. We want to build a strong future path for our business and our customers, and these investments advance that commitment in full alignment with our vision. We also like to acknowledge and thank the support of the Hauts-de-France region and French “Relance Program” which supported our initiative strongly and selected our French production plant for the industrial investment acceleration fund. We are grateful for this encouragement and belief in the B.I.G. Yarns' endeavors.” B.I.G. Yarns is proactive in developing new products that better serve customers’ needs in a sustainable way. Its sustainable solutions are at the forefront of industry product design, and it is fully committed to integrating the UN Sustainable Development Goals in its operations. Its 2 European plants have this year been granted a first Sustainable Business Charter 2021 and from July both sites ran on 100% on green electricity, reducing its CO2 emissions for its electricity use by 35% in 2021, and with 75% in 2022.
