Unifi targets fresh markets with Drawtech purchase

10/12/2013
US-based yarns producer Unifi has purchased the assets of American Drawtech, a division of Dillon Yarn Corporation, to enable it to introduce Repreve and other premier value-added (PVA) products into the mid-tenacity flat yarn markets. 

Drawtech’s draw-winding equipment will increase Unifi’s production and allow Unifi to expand its presence in targeted industrial and thread markets. 

Roger Berrier, chief operating officer of Unifi, said: "We will continue to offer all the existing products and services, while introducing more product options into these markets, including Repreve and other Unifi PVA products."

Repreve nylon is made from 100% recycled materials using a production process that the company says reduces energy consumption.
