Kipaş Holding’s subsidiary, Kipaş Tekstil Enterprises, continues its investments in 2021. Preparing to elevate its weaving operations to the highest level with new high-tech machines, Kipaş Tekstil will both increase its production capacity and be able to respond to customer demands with superior quality in the shortest time.

NEW INVESTMENTS KEEP ACCELERATING

In addition to the 255 machines currently operating in the Kipaş Tekstil Weaving Enterprises in Kahramanmaraş, the newly constructed facilities spanning 24,000 square meters will add 268 weaving machines, as well as sizing, conical, serial warp, warping, sample warp, bobbin sizing, and raw fabric quality control machines.

Thus, Kipaş Tekstil will produce a total of 30 million meters of fabric annually, including technical textile fabrics, shirting fabrics, trouser fabrics, home textile fabrics, and velvet fabrics.

SUSTAINABLE PRODUCTION

Kipaş Holding adopts a sustainable production policy in all its areas of activity. In the newly opened Kipaş Weaving Enterprises, all lighting will be carried out with energy-saving LED lights. To benefit from renewable energy sources, the facility roofs will be fully equipped with solar panels. In production, especially in woven fabrics, the use of recycled yarn will be prioritized. Additionally, waste at Kipaş Tekstil Enterprises is carefully sorted and recycled.

INDUSTRY 4.0 TECHNOLOGY

At Kipaş Tekstil Weaving Enterprises, automated guided vehicles (AGVs) will be used as part of Industry 4.0 for unmanned transport automation systems in yarn pallets, warp beams, and fabric handling systems. Automation-based storage systems under Industry 4.0 are also being designed to stock warp beams and fabric rolls. Furthermore, robotic automation systems are being designed for the in-house warping process to improve working conditions and the work system.

STRONG PRODUCTION, STRONG ECONOMY

Regarding the new investments, Kipaş Holding Board Member and Kipaş Tekstil General Manager Halit Gümüşer said:

“While investing in our weaving enterprises, we planned to increase our existing production area, quality, and capacity.
