Opening ceremony in Vietnam for Südwolle Group
Südwolle Group’s official opening ceremony of the Da Lat Worsted Spinning Mill and new dyehouse in Ninh Thuan province was held in Da Lat City, Vietnam in May.
Südwolle Group began its Vietnamese production in 2019, but had to postpone the opening ceremony due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The company is now proud to celebrate both milestones with around 150 international guests, providing an opportunity for the company to show its latest innovations, sustainable solutions, and high-quality products.
DWS is a joint venture between Südwolle Group and Lien Phuong Textile & Garment Corporation and is one of the most modern and sustainable worsted wool spinning mills in the world. The future dyehouse will also be one of the most modern facilities of its kind, employing 90 people and capable of producing seven tons per day of premium quality dyed material. The location of the dyehouse in Ninh Thuan province enables it to run on renewable energy from the abundant solar and wind power generation facilities in the province.
