Unifi, the company of color yarns, based in Greensboro, Green, North Carolina, announced that the company plans to set up a wholly-owned subsidiary in China to provide services to consumers in the region. The company will launch the plan at the end of the two quarter of this year.

At the same time, cooperate with downstream textile enterprises to help them develop products and supervise production, from joint venture companies to suppliers, initial producers, or commissioned producers, Sinopec Yangzi chemical fiber company.

UTSC may recruit commissioned manufacturers to meet the expanding customer demand of regional customers, including the existing Unifi brand, AIO, A.M.Y., Mynx, Reflexx, Repreve and and Sorbtek.

Unifi will control the intellectual property rights of the brand and supervise the production to ensure product quality and technical standards.
