Amann Group to strengthen in Asia with Bangladesh plant
01/04/2011
To serve the needs of the Chinese market in particular, and to speed up delivery times, the company has completed the construction of a new cutting-edge production facility in Yancheng, in Jiangsu Province, 270 km north-east of Shanghai.
A twisting plant opened there last year, and now has a twisting capacity of around 2,700 tonnes of thread per year from polyester or polyamide filaments. Now, the Amann Sewing Threads Company has also begun production at the Yangcheng site in a state-of-the-art thread production facility with fully automated dye house. It has a capacity of 3,000 tonnes a year. The plant can offer customer-specific dyeing, or dye-to-match, which Amann says is in strong demand in Asia.
All manufacturing is carried out to European quality standards and will be certified to ISO 9001.
The company is also building a new fully-integrated production facility in Mawna, Gazipur, in Bangladesh, which will have an annual capacity of 3,000 tonnes. From 2013, the new factory will produce top-quality sewing thread. A further new production site in India is also on the drawing board, the company said.
