Fiber Company SAE (AFCO) is an Indo-Egyptian joint
venture of the Aditya Birla Group. With the Group's
excellent track record in the acrylic fiber industry
in Asia through its presence in Thailand, AFCO
represents an extension of this business in the
Middle East, Africa and European regions.
The plant has been set up with technology from
Japan Exlan Co., Ltd., and basic engineering and
equipment supply from Kawasaki Heavy Industries
Ltd., Japan. The unit caters to the large domestic
market in Egypt apart from catering to markets
in the Middle East, Africa and Europe.
Commercial production commenced in February 2006
with the first phase of operations designed to
produce 18000 mt per annum of raw white and gel
dyed acrylic tow, tops and fiber, for sweaters,
blankets, carpets, knitwear, hosiery products,
automotive textiles, furnishings, and various
industrial applications. AFCO is currently implementing
its second phase which will increase plant capacity
to 58,000 tonnes by 2009.
The
expansion at AFCO is going on full steam and is
expected to be completed on time. This will catapult
AFCO into one of the leading producers of acrylic
fiber in the world and the only one of its type
in the entire MENA (Middle East and North Africa).
As opposed to Thai Acrylic Fiber Company, AFCO
will produce colored fiber which will help it
to carve a niche for itself in the acrylic fiber
industry.
