Tung Ho Textile recently unveiled a series of innovative textile products at PanTextiles Osaka 2019 including the distinctive items of Seawool environmentally-friendly yarn, Umorfil skin-friendly, and warm yarns from Taiwan. The full-effort promotion of Taiwan products in Japan has successfully attracted the attention of Japanese buyers.

According to Tsai, Sui-Ying, Chairperson of Tung Ho Textile, Tung Ho has established a professional research and development center this year designated for the development of environmentally-friendly and composite functional spun yarns to position itself as a “Multilateral Functional Spun Yarn Expert”, and has developed up to 15 production lines of special yarns so far. The Company can respond quickly to satisfy customer needs in small quantities and great variety of product development and furthers its effort in overseas marketing at the high-end product markets in Europe, the USA, and Japan.

In responding to the development trend of “sustainability”, “comfort”, and “composite function”, the management team and R&D team of Tung Ho Textile has never ceased to develop new yarns, improve the production process, and develop environmentally-friendly and composite function spun yarns, which helps to reduce waste in production at the same time. The environmentally-friendly yarns are made of recycled PE bottles, scales of dumped chanos chanos fish, and recycled oyster shells. With the use of the special environmentally-friendly functional fiber of Taiwan and advanced milling technology, Tung Ho Textile created distinctive environmentally-friendly and functional spun yarn in Taiwan, such as the warm yarn made of new materials and hollow polyester spun yarn. Further to the porous structure of the hollow fiber, the yarn also has a microporous structure. These porous structure helps to increase the air content of yarn to prevent heat loss and enhance the insulation effect to keep the body warm. Furthermore, the new structure allows for a light weight of the finished textile products. As such, consumers will no longer have to wear heavy weight clothing in winter but will still be able to keep the body warm, said Chairperson Tsai.

“Sustainability” and “Innovative Development” remained the strategic objectives of Tung Ho Textile. For a long time, the Company has been on good terms with renowned fiber makers in Europe and Japan such as Toyobo, Toray, Lenzing, and Smartfiber, and successfully introduced a wide array of innovative and functional fibers as well as advanced spinning technology such as Siro, Compact, Siro-Fuse, and Siro-Slub. With the innovative functional fiber and advanced textile technology, echoed by the flexible production lines, Tung Ho creates unique value in favor of the customers. This is the irreplaceable competitive advantage of Tung Ho Textile in more than six decades of business.
