Huntsman has plans for Vietnam

16/12/2011
Dyes and textile chemicals manufacturer Huntsman Textile Effects has said it will intensify its efforts to help drive the Vietnam textile industry forwards. It said the market in Vietnam was still growing rapidly and should reach $13.5 billion in exports of textiles and garments by the end of 2011.

One new idea that the company wants to bring to the Vietnamese market is Avitera, dyeing technology that it claims can help reduce water and energy consumption and carbon emissions because the dyeing and washing-off process never exceed 60 degrees Celsius and only 5% or less unfixed dye needing to be removed instead of the usual 15%–30%.

Company president, Paul Hulme, said on a recent trip to Vietnam: “We believe that we have a responsibility to adopt and to offer the latest technologies to empower our customers to develop their businesses by lowering processing costs and improving overall productivity. The future of Vietnam’s textile industry is promising and an important market for Huntsman Textile Effects. We look forward to work in collaborative partnerships to further our efforts to provide total textile solutions that will deliver economic and environmental sustainability for textile mills in Vietnam.”
