TAY NINH (Biz Hub) – Century Synthetic Fiber Corporation (STK) inaugurated a fibre plant, Trang Bang phase 3, worth VND 735 billion(US$32.74 million) on September 18.
The plant, located in the southern province of Tay
Ninh’s Trang Bang Industry Zone, which was constructed in May 2014,
increased 40 per cent of its total capacity, to produce 52,000 tonnes
per year.
With the phase 3 plant, STK increased its total investment capital to VND1.6 trillion ($71.7 million).
According to STK chairman Dang Trieu Hoa, the plant
employed one of the most advanced production management systems known as
POC that could not only manage operations, jobs, statistics and data,
but also monitor the quality.
Modern production lines and machines at the plant
would boost the capacity and quality of products and enable the creation
of new products with higher speed and at lower cost, he added.
Besides, the corporation would also work on new
products such as quick drying fibre, UV resistant, flame retardant and
recycled fibre to meet the demand of the international fashion industry
and also serve the local industry.
Hoa said that by the end of this month, installation of machinery at the plant would be complete. Once operational, it would supply anadditional 15,000 tonnes of partially oriented yarn (POY) and 15,000 tonnes of draw texturised yard (DTY) per year.
STK also planned a VND9275 billion ($12.2 million)
plant at Trang Bang phase 4 to increase the total capacity to 60,000
tonnes per year by Q3, 2016.
Established in 2000, with the first plant in HCM
City’s Cu Chi District, STK now has four plants in Viet Nam and became
one of the leading fibre manufacturing industries, with customers such
as Nike, Adidas, and Uniqlo, in addition to Puma, Guess. — VNS
