BRILEN is pleased to inform to the market the approval of a new investment on High Tenacity Polyester Yarn capacity at our premises of Barbastro (Spain) with two main purposes: R+D reinforcement and capacity extension.
- At the end of this year 2021, we will be starting up a pilot line to push the development of products and the enlargement of BRILEN® yarn range, especially in terms of properties and additives. This will allow us to face special and customized technical requirements and becoming really competitive for tailored-made industrial PES yarns range in Europe. The reinforced human team in the R+D department, our continuously updated chemical and textile laboratories and this pilot plant, places Brilen in the leadership of industrial yarn development, to the service of our customers.
- At the end of next year 2022 (Q1’23), we will be starting up 4 new state of the art spinning lines, which will provide the market with additional 5000 mt of BRILEN® range yarns. The total capacity of BRILEN will reach 26.000 mt per year. This new enlargement leads BRILEN to the first position in terms of yarn name plate capacity in Europe, for technical textile applications, and allows us to keep on being flexible, quick reactive at the same time that we offer more yarn availability for the growing local market.
These goals will be fully accomplished at January 2023. BRILEN demonstrates once again, the firm and constant commitment to the European Industry of Technical Textile Applications, and our focus on building long term close commercial and technical collaborations with our faithful customers.
