Finishing of textiles
NACE v2.1 Code: C13.3
About finishing of textiles
NACE code 13.3, 'Finishing of textiles', represents a crucial industry within the broader textile manufacturing sector. This industry is responsible for the final processing and enhancement of textile materials, transforming raw fabrics into finished products ready for use in a wide range of applications. From apparel and home furnishings to industrial textiles, the finishing of textiles plays a vital role in the global supply chain, adding value and functionality to textile goods.
Production process
The finishing of textiles involves a variety of techniques, including dyeing, printing, bleaching, and other chemical and mechanical processes. These processes are designed to impart specific properties to the textile materials, such as color, pattern, texture, and improved durability. Dyeing, for example, is a common finishing technique that uses specialized dyes and chemicals to permanently color the fabric. Printing, on the other hand, involves the application of designs or patterns onto the fabric using various printing methods, such as screen printing or digital printing.
Production inputs
The finishing of textiles industry relies on a range of inputs, including raw textile materials (such as 13.1 Preparation and spinning of textile fibers, 13.2 Weaving of textiles, and 13.9 Manufacture of other textiles), as well as specialized chemicals, dyes, and machinery. The industry also requires skilled labor, including textile technicians, machine operators, and quality control personnel, to ensure the efficient and effective finishing of textile products.
Production outputs
The primary outputs of the finishing of textiles industry are finished textile products, such as dyed, printed, or otherwise treated fabrics, ready for use in various applications. These finished textiles may be consumed by other NACE industries, such as 14.1 Manufacture of wearing apparel, except fur apparel, 13.9 Manufacture of other textiles, and 31.0 Manufacture of furniture, which use the finished textiles as inputs for their own production processes.
