Incorporated
in 1987, Thai Acrylic Fibre (TAF) ranks among
the top three quality fibre producers globally.
It is one of the top two service providers of
acrylic application development. The company has
also been rated as a top class acrylic producer
for the manufacture of special blanket applications.
Most of the spinners in China have named TAF as
one of the 'World's Best Fibre Producers' for
the manufacture of hand knitted yarn.
From
an installed capacity of 14,000 tpa, the company
has grown consistently to reach 100,000 tpa. Advanced
technology, automation, computerised process control
systems and captive power, make the operations
of Thai Acrylic extremely efficient and reliable.
The company has a strong focus on systems improvement
and has established comprehensive standards of
ISO 9001:2000, ISO 14001, OHSAS 18000 and SA 8000.
TAF
produces more than 30 different types of fibre
including speciality fibres for high-end applications.
Marketed under the 'Texlan' brand, the product
range comprises a variety of acrylic fibres used
for making sweaters, jogging suits,
socks, stuffed toys, blankets, carpets and upholstery.
The finished fibre can be easily adapted to cotton,
modified cotton, worsted and woollen spinning
systems. In blends, it possesses excellent compatibility
with other synthetic
and natural fibres.
Manufacturing operations are supported by a fully
equipped application development centre and a
customer technical service team comprising experts
in textile technology. Seventy five per cent of
its acrylic fibre is exported to Australia, Africa,
China, Iran, Indonesia, India, Nepal and other
Asian countries, who in turn, market their products
to customers in Europe and the US in the product
value chain.
TAF's
superior product quality, on going process improvements
and unmatched technical services have made the
company one of the world's lowest-cost producers
of acrylic fibre. Indisputably the customer's
first choice, Thai Acrylic Fibre is one of the
greenest, cleanest and the most environment friendly
acrylic fibre plant, in the world.
