Textile finishing

The "Textile finishing" product group:

washes, bleaches, dyes, prints and coats several textile products (yarns, fibres, carpets, knitted goods, non-woven goods, garment goods etc.),
makes them soil-resistant, shrink-proof, flame-retardant, etc.

The activity of textile finishing is either integrated into a textile mill or carried out by independent specialist suppliers (contract finishers). Via textile finishing, colour and additional functionality are added to a textile product.
