fabric performance

• Polyester dyeing is also available along with reliable resource base

for yarn dyeing

PRODUCTION PROCESS FABRIC FINISHING

Complete finishing range for all types of knitted fabrics, done on squeezer horizontal dryer, compactor for proper fabric handle and ensure fabric stability.

CAD system is used to make precise
