SAITEX MILL

Driving a broader movement toward circular manufacturing

Saitex Mill commits to only producing environmentally-conscious fabrics by using the latest technologies and high-level expertise.

Saitex Mill uses only
sustainable
raw materials
Being regenagri® Certified, Regenerative Cotton is the leading cotton we consume.
We also use recycled fibers for cellulosic fibers and MMF, including elastic fibers.
We maximize the use of post-consumer waste cotton alongside regenerative, organic, and pre-consumer waste cotton without compromising the fabric quality and performance, depending on the customer inquiries.
Fabrics for a better world
Being one of the few denim plants with a Smart Indigo™ system, we use hydrosulfite-free and aniline-free indigo dyestuff in our fabrics.

Thanks to our one-of-a-kind rope dyeing machine, being able to dye super-dark shades at high dye penetration, we can achieve target shades by using less dyestuff and chemicals, together with low water and energy consumption.

Rope Dyeing Machine
Fabrics for efficiency
Providing wide-width fabrics to our customers, we support them to have less waste in garment manufacturing.

Our Eco Fade product family helps laundries use fewer chemicals, water, and time to achieve lighter wash levels much faster than conventional fabrics.

We take the utmost care in selecting our ingredients through our trusted partner network.
The most environment-friendly processes
Our mill’s machinery uses less energy, fewer chemicals, and less water.

Step 1 - Cotton & Blending

Partnerships with organic, recycled, transitioning cotton and Regenerative cotton farmers supply Saitex Mill with raw materials. From there, the cotton bales are blend:

  • Specialized in multiple blending
  • Sustainable organic cotton & recycled fibers as well as high-tech synthetic fibers
  • Development of new sustainable blends with alternative fiber sources
  • German technology from Truetzschler for blow room, carding, drawing

Step 2 - Spinning

Semi-automatic sewing allows for a much quicker process than traditional sewing, while maintaining low energy consumption and the ease of quickly switching shapes and styles. This gives each pair of jeans the final touch and branding before being sent to customers.

Step 3 - Indigo Reduction

By using the electro-chemical reduction called the Smart-Indigo™ system by Sedo to develop indigo reduction hydrosulfite- free with Smart-Indigo™ System in which the yarn is rope dyed. The Smart-Indigo™ system utilizes an electrochemical dye bath preparation that emits 90% less CO2, consumes 70% less energy, and 30% less water where the only waste product is oxygen. All of this while still maintaining high color consistency.

Step 4 - Rope Dying

The Mill uses Karl Mayer rope dyeing machines which use less energy to achieve the same result by dipping the rope into fewer dye baths than with standard machines, which translates into a minimum 30% reduction in indigo and chemical usage.

Step 5 - Weaving

The one hundred sixty rapier looms from Picanol, Italy. Coupled with knotting and drawing in from Groz Beckert, Germany. Allow for high speed precision weaving, and creating the best quality woven fabrics ready for denim and PFD weaving.

Step 6 - Finishing

From singeing from Osthoff to mercerizing and pad steam from Goller. Pad Batch dyeing from Benninger and fabric tumblering from Pentek. Stentering and sanforizing from Monforts. Our world-class finishing engineering solutions provide excellent quality, performance with limited ecological impact. Future-proof, our current structure allows us for greater flexibility and capacity to invest into new technologies for future trends.

Enabling a full circular manufacturing system

The integration of the fabric mill into our value stream establishes Saitex as probably the most sustainable seed to shelf organization on the planet.

Innovative product creation center
Our PCC as a world-class R&D center, with the capability to create and prototype the first garment samples within the fabric mill.
Providing the full garment production from cutting, sewing, lasering, and washing.
Path to Carbon Neutrality
6,000 trees were sowed in the industrial park and 50 hectares of mangroves were planted in the country to offset carbon emissions, helping to progress the Saitex Mill towards carbon neutrality.

Regenerative agriculture
Within the mill compound, a hydroponic farming system and organic farming fields occupy 40% of the space and will produce 6 tons of clean vegetables per year to feed employees and local communities.
