Thanks to the overall increase in demand from the buyers, sweater manufacturer Hydroxide Knitwear Ltd., producing sweaters, pullovers, cardigans and other knit products from wool, cotton, acrylic, rayon and blended yarn for men, women and children for the European market, has added new machines to augment its production capacity further.
“…we have recently added 200 fully computerised jacquard knitting machines and increased our production by around 25 per cent,” claimed the Managing Director of the companyOmar Hamid Chowdhury,speaking to Apparel Resources.
These 200 machines are in addition to the existing 700 flat knitting machines, which the company has already installed to efficiently serve its range of clients including names like Pull&Bear, Vero Moda, Jack and Jones, Matalan, Walmart, Zara, etc.
However, increased yarn price has emerged as a major worry for Omar, impacting the profit margins drastically.
“It’s becoming difficult to sustain as we have to offer competitive pricing to our buyers,” rued the MD of the company.
