Business & Econom y December 1, 2015 3:51 pm Manchester sees rebirth of cotton industry Andrew Bounds, Manchester Hulton Archive/Getty Images Thirty years after cotton spinning died out in Brit ain, Cottonopolis has been reborn. A Germ an-backed com pany is building a new cotton-spinning line in Manchester, the spiritual hom e of the industry, thanks to worldwide dem and for high-qualit y thread for the fashion industry. The new m ill will spin som e of the m ost luxurious yarn in the world, using raw m at erials from Barbados, I ndia, the US and Egypt. The 5.8m investm ent by Culim eta-saveguard, which is backed by governm ent m oney and which will create 100 j obs, is to rebuild a supply chain for luxury Brit ish clothing m akers. Countries such as I ndia and China, which undercut Brit ish m ills in the 1970s and 1980s, leading to thousands of j ob losses, are now custom ers for expensive British clothes and furnishings. Andy Ogden, com pany general m anager, said: We re extrem ely proud to have won this m aj or governm ent grant to help us m ake real our dream of bringing cotton spinning back where it belongs: the northwest of England. The com pany, which also has operat ions in I taly and the US, has set up a subsidiary, English Fine Cottons, and will occupy a refurbished Victorian m ill in Dukinfield, Greater Manchester, one of hundreds that hum m ed with act ivity a cent ury ago. There is a strong dem and across the world for luxury goods wit h the Made in Britain stam p, and English Fine Cottons has the pedigree for the j ob. Our roots are in technical text ile m anufacturing and we are in the perfect locat ion to draw on a local workforce with the necessary skills, Mr Ogden added. Em m a Willis, who m akes the shirts for the actors playing Jam es Bond, said: The only thing we don t buy in the UK is cotton, which I would very m uch like to do. The proj ect could hopefully ut ilise the abundant skills base for text ile m anufacturing in the
UK, as we rem ain exceptional as a country in specialist m anufact uring. From cotton spinning to pattern cutting the skills are there to m ake in Britain. The UK is the 15th- largest textiles m aker in the world and export ed 5.5bn worth of clothes in 2013. Cotton is st ill traded according to Liverpool rules set in the British port by the I nternat ional Cotton Associat ion and several traders are based there. English Fine Cottons is invest ing 4.8m of its own, 2m of which is a loan from the Greater Manchester Com bined Authority. A further 1m has been awarded by the N Brown Textile Growth Program m e (TGP), t he brainchild of clothing retailer N Brown s form er chairm an Lord Alliance, using the governm ent s regional growth fund. The Alliance Report this year predicted the creation of up to 20,000 j obs by the UK textile sector by 2020. Yorkshire s woollen industry is also enj oying a revival with new spinning and dyeing plants opening. The sector em ploys 100,000 and is worth 9bn to the UK. Anna Soubry, business m inister, said: There is a global dem and for prem ium fashion m ade in the UK and t his new m ill is all part of a text ile revival boosting our m anufacturing capabilit ies. Lorna Fitzsim ons, TGP director, said The global industry could never have predicted that cotton spinning would com e back to t he UK. Our program m e is giving com panies like English Fine Cottons the confidence to invest, at a scale that m akes it possible to build one of the m ost advanced cotton spinning plants in the world in Greater Manchester. Culim eta-saveguard runs the only rem aining cotton spinning plant in the UK, although it is used purely for technical fibre yarns for the m anufacture of protective clothing. I t also m akes engineering text iles and export s m ore than 85 per cent of production.
New n- tech Research Report Proj ects the Market for Sm art Textiles will Reach $1.8 billion (US$) by 2021 GLEN ALLEN, Va., Dec. 1, 2015 / PRNewswire/ -- I ndustry analyst firm n-tech Research today announced the release of a new report tit led "Sm art Textile Markets 2016-2023." According to the report, the m arket for sm art text iles, including fabrics m anufactured with sm art m aterials and those that utilize em bedded sensors, will grow to $1.8 billion by 2021. Details about the report are available at: http: / / ntechresearch.com / m arket_reports/ sm art-textiles-markets-2016-2023 About the report: The sm art textile sector has taken off in the past few years, driven by the keen interest in the I nternet-of-things (I ot) and enabled by the latest sm art m aterials and powerful sensing devices. This report provides m arket coverage of the potential for em erging text ile products where the textile is rapidly becom ing t he sensor. I n this report n-tech focuses especially on electrically conductive yarns and threads, conductive polym ers, shape m em ory m aterials, color-changing m aterials, phasechanging m aterials, self-cleaning and ant im icrobial m aterials and nanom aterials The report also includes an analysis of applications where n-tech believes sm art textiles have a real opportunit y to m ove beyond the lab and expensive dem onstrations high-volum e com m ercial applicat ions. End-user applicat ions covered include: m edical, health and fitness, m ilitary and security, fashion and non-clothing applicat ions. The new study also contains detailed eight-year m arket forecasts of sm art text iles both in revenue and volum e term s with breakouts by type of sensors and sm art m aterials used, as well as the end-user sector in which they are sold. There is also extensive coverage of the product/ m arket strategies of leading firm s in this space including: Adidas, AiQ, BASF, Bekaert, BeBop, Bodi Trak, Carre, Chrom at, Cisalfa, Clariant, Clothing+, Diffus, Dow Chem ical, DuPont, Durafil, Google, Heddoko, I m print Energy, I ntel, Jabil, Lands' End, Levi Strauss, LifeSense, Lost Explorer, MAD Apparel, Nike, Nolla, NTT, Ohm atex, Philips Healthcare,Ralph Lauren, Sarvint, Schoeller Textiles, Sefar, Sensoria, Silic, SLI P Technologies, TE Connectivity, Under Arm our, Viavi, VTT and others Highlight s: The largest m arket for sm art text iles is to be found in the m edical sector, which will becom e an $843 m illion m arket by 2021. Using sm art clothing, patients with chronic diseases, such as diabetes and heart problem s, will cont inuously and sim ply m onitor their health and send updates to their physician, providing m ore useful data and
avoiding office visits. Technology of this kind already exists in sm art sports clothing and will be extended to m edical applicat ions as sensors becom e m ore accurate Meanwhile, the m arket for self-cleaning text iles will reach $573 m illion by 2021. While this kind of technology has been available for som e tim e, driving its growth will be ability of self-cleaning textile coat ings to becom e fully om niphobic being able to rid fabrics of a broader range of dirt, oil and grease, wine stains, et c. I n addit ion, selfcleaning text iles are expected to integrate sm art ant im icrobial capabilit ies. Selfcleaning text iles that are hydrophobic on the outside and hydrophilic on inside are also being developed. These repel water and st ains from the outside while m inim izing perspirat ion stains. By 2021 sm art text iles are expected to use $134 m illion in sensors with m ore than half of those revenues com ing from pressure sensors. The report notes that this is an area that is attract ing venture capital where it benefits from the current interest of VCs in the related area of I ot sensors. There are also im portant new textile-specific developm ents in the sensor area, such as the creation of fabric t ransistors. About n- t ech: n-tech Research is the rebrand of NanoMarkets.
