Demand for better polyester in China
17/02/2009
Swiss textile machinery manufacturer Oerlikon Barmag has said that demand for top-quality polyester fully drawn yarn (FDY) is growing significantly in China.
“We are detecting a trend towards quality products among Chinese polyester FDY manufacturers”, said Oerlikon Barmag’s vice-president for sales, Michael Korobczuk. “We have just successfully commissioned a polyester FDY 24-end project with 32 positions in Jiangsu province. These yarns are destined for warp-knitting plants. Chinese yarn manufacturers are now increasingly focusing on products with higher margins, particularly in the currently extremely difficult market and due to the growing competition in standard products.”
