TenCate increases production capacity of Tecasafe Plus

09/08/2011
TenCate Protective Fabrics has announced that it has enhanced proprietary manufacturing processes to meet “supply chain challenges” in the industrial safety apparel market. The company has said it expects reduced availability of flame resistant (FR) cotton and, as a result, increased demand for its Tecasafe Plus fabrics.

“The FR industry has encountered shortages and longer lead times for industrial safety apparel due to decreased supply of cotton fibres worldwide, which in turn placed higher unanticipated demand on inherently FR solutions, such as TenCate Tecasafe Plus,” TenCate said. It added that since 2010 it has created a seven-fold production capacity increase for this product.
