SAITEX MILL
Driving a broader movement toward circular manufacturing
Saitex Mill commits to only producing environmentally-conscious fabrics by using the latest technologies and high-level expertise.
raw materials
Thanks to our one-of-a-kind rope dyeing machine, being able to dye super-dark shades at high dye penetration, we can achieve target shades by using less dyestuff and chemicals, together with low water and energy consumption.
Our Eco Fade product family helps laundries use fewer chemicals, water, and time to achieve lighter wash levels much faster than conventional fabrics.
Partnerships with organic, recycled, transitioning cotton and Regenerative cotton farmers supply Saitex Mill with raw materials. From there, the cotton bales are blend:
- Specialized in multiple blending
- Sustainable organic cotton & recycled fibers as well as high-tech synthetic fibers
- Development of new sustainable blends with alternative fiber sources
- German technology from Truetzschler for blow room, carding, drawing
Semi-automatic sewing allows for a much quicker process than traditional sewing, while maintaining low energy consumption and the ease of quickly switching shapes and styles. This gives each pair of jeans the final touch and branding before being sent to customers.
By using the electro-chemical reduction called the Smart-Indigo™ system by Sedo to develop indigo reduction hydrosulfite- free with Smart-Indigo™ System in which the yarn is rope dyed. The Smart-Indigo™ system utilizes an electrochemical dye bath preparation that emits 90% less CO2, consumes 70% less energy, and 30% less water where the only waste product is oxygen. All of this while still maintaining high color consistency.
The Mill uses Karl Mayer rope dyeing machines which use less energy to achieve the same result by dipping the rope into fewer dye baths than with standard machines, which translates into a minimum 30% reduction in indigo and chemical usage.
The one hundred sixty rapier looms from Picanol, Italy. Coupled with knotting and drawing in from Groz Beckert, Germany. Allow for high speed precision weaving, and creating the best quality woven fabrics ready for denim and PFD weaving.
From singeing from Osthoff to mercerizing and pad steam from Goller. Pad Batch dyeing from Benninger and fabric tumblering from Pentek. Stentering and sanforizing from Monforts. Our world-class finishing engineering solutions provide excellent quality, performance with limited ecological impact. Future-proof, our current structure allows us for greater flexibility and capacity to invest into new technologies for future trends.

Enabling a full circular manufacturing system
The integration of the fabric mill into our value stream establishes Saitex as probably the most sustainable seed to shelf organization on the planet.
