United States-based Invista, a global integrated fibers and polymers manufacturer, is building a 3,000-square-meter commercial textile research center in China, with operations expected to begin in May 2009.
The Invista China Textile Research Center, which will be built in Shanghai’s Qingpu district, will focus on applying and commercializing new fiber and fabric, and will offer its customers solutions for major elements of the production process, such as yarn processing, knitting, dyeing and finishing.
“The establishment of the Invista China Textile Research Center demonstrates our commitment to the China and Asia markets,” said Dr. Eric Chang, Asia technology director, Invista Apparel. “ Through developing the latest technologies in fiber and fabric applications, Invista’s new research center is expected to not only help accelerate the advancement of the textile industry but also seek to align with the Chinese Government’s goals to nurture high-value and innovative technologies and industries.”
Invista Fiber (Shanghai) Co. Ltd. will operate the facility, Invista’s third textile research center worldwide, on the same site as the company’s spandex plant in Qingpu.
