Goals, activities, and expected results
Given the increasing demands for the development of high-value-added products with unique and distinctive characteristics, and considering the absence of domestic offerings of this type of product, Polopique Comércio has identified the opportunity to undertake a series of investments. These investments aim to significantly increase its installed capacity and, at the same time, develop new textile yarns tailored to the international demand profile with clearly distinctive features in the market.
In this regard, the project is based on expanding its activity through a set of advanced technologies that enable the production of yarns capable of creating highly differentiated products from those currently available in the market. This includes the use of twisted injected yarn, thus generating fully customized products tailored to the needs of customers.
