CRAiLAR Technologies has commenced production of high quality flax fibre at its new Pamplico plant in South Carolina.
This follows minor delays at the facility to ensure safety and compliance within the water and fire protection systems in the building, along with customisation to communications software for safe operation of the production line. These adjustments have now been completed.
“We have waited a long time to be in direct control of our production line from the standpoints of fibre quality, integrity, and volume,” said CEO Ken Barker. “This is an important milestone for us as a company, and the industry as a whole as we launch flax fibre introductions for multiple sectors of retail and industry in 2013.”
