SubscribeSachin Malik, Global Business Head, Asia Pacific Rayon, said: “The response to both the Lyocell Fabric Processing Masterclass and Yarnex 2026 Expo was highly encouraging. Strong participation and quality of discussions reflected partners’ interest in technical knowledge, innovation and collaboration. These engagements provide great opportunities to exchange perspectives and share best practices across the textile value chain.”
APR’s Lyocell Fabric Processing Masterclass addressed the technical needs of fabric manufacturers, processors, dyeing houses and finishing specialists working with lyocell-based materials. The programme covered practical aspects of dyeing, finishing, process optimisation and fabric performance. Participants explored best practices for achieving consistent quality and discussed approaches to addressing processing challenges associated with lyocell fabrics.
Direct interaction with technical experts also enabled participants to exchange insights relevant to commercial-scale production. Strong attendance and active discussions reflected industry interest in building lyocell processing capabilities as manufacturers seek to diversify their product offerings.
A member of the RGE group of companies founded by Sukanto Tanoto, APR’s participation in Yarnex 2026 Expo complemented the masterclass by providing further opportunities to engage with stakeholders across India’s textile value chain. Tiruppur’s established ecosystem of manufacturers, processors, exporters and apparel producers serves domestic and international markets, making it an important centre for technical exchange and market engagement.
Together, the initiatives underscored the role of technical collaboration in supporting product innovation, quality improvement and market development for lyocell-based textiles.
