UAE-based polyester fibre manufacturer Safetex Group has announced the launch of a new plant operated by its Emirates Fibre subsidiary.

Production began at the new plant at the Al Gail Industrial Park in Ras Al Khaimah in mid-January at a level of around 600 tonnes per month.

The company expects to increase production to 1,500 tonnes a month by June. It said the next step for Emirates Fibre will be to produce spinning fibre for the clothing market within the next four-to-five years.
