BAKU, Azerbaijan, March 6. Germany’s Monforts’ activity in Turkmenistan today is focused not only on new installations but also on optimising existing lines, supporting operational efficiency and ensuring long-term performance, helping the country turn domestically grown cotton into higher value textile products, Thomas Päffgen, Area Sales Manager for South and Central Europe at Monforts, told Trend.
"Monforts has maintained a longstanding presence in Turkmenistan as a supplier of finishing technology to vertically integrated textile mills, with the continued support of the VDMA’s textile machinery division," Päffgen said.
