BTK Holding, one of Russia’s largest producers of technical textiles and apparel, plans to start commissioning a new large-scale facility for the production of technical textiles in Russia as a part of its expansion. The new plant will have a good technological infrastructure and operate more than 250 units of modern equipment. The new plant is located in the city of Shahty (Rostov region); it is estimated to involve cost to the tune of US $ 100 million. The date for the completion of the plant is yet to be announced, but the company has already completed preparatory works for the launch of the 120,000 square metre production facility, which by now employs over 1000 people.
