Commission Services
SKA Textiles has invested heavily in machinery and equipment. The company installed a rotary screen wet and pigment printing machine, as well as a transfer printing machine, in 2000, This new facility allows them to offer specialist, commission-led services in knitting, dyeing and finishing of woven and knitted fabrics.
Commission manufacturing services answer a growing need in the market place for efficient manufacturing and finishing capabilities by converters, merchants and design studios. The new installation and facilities have reduced inherent problems, and dramatically reduced capital expenditure. Consequently, SKA Textiles have successfully increased their market potential and profitability.
