Goals, activities, and expected results
Given the increasing demand for the development of products with higher added value (incorporating new raw materials, new blends, or possessing new functionalities), Polopique Acabamentos has identified the opportunity to develop a range of new textile products tailored to the international demand profile and with clear differentiating characteristics in the sector.
Thus, considering the current constraints in its production capacity and with the aim of developing, producing, and launching the new products, the company has defined the present project supported by a set of investments. These investments will involve the acquisition of new production equipment and the installation of state-of-the-art technology, allowing an increase in its production capacity. This increase will enable the development of new textile articles with high added value and greater technical and technological complexity.
