French flax yarn in the textile industry
Following an increasing demand from brands and manufacturers for flax, locality,transparency and traceability throughout the supply chain, we relaunched a dry and wet spinning unit in France at Béthune (62) in the heart of the historical Safilin basin and flax culture.
With this new flax spinning unit, it is now possible to offer a 100% French finished product from fibre to clothing. This spinning unit complements our two Polish spinning mills and addresses new and complementary markets for Polish production.
