The President got acquainted with the technological process at the enterprise.

The main difference from traditional spinning mills is that it is equipped with Vortex spinning technology from the Japanese company Murata. The advantage of this technology is that during spinning the fibers are passed through an air vortex. As a result, yarn hairiness is reduced, and its quality is increased.

The President also attended a presentation of projects to increase the level of cotton fiber processing, to ensure food security.
