BAKU, Azerbaijan, August 11. A new production unit has been launched at the Bayramaly Textile Complex in Turkmenistan, increasing the country's capacity to produce specialized yarn.
This was announced in a report published by the Turkmen government on August 11.
According to the report, the new unit is equipped with high-performance machinery from leading Chinese manufacturers and the Italian company Cormatex S.r.l.
“The production capacity of the unit is 130 tons of yarn per year, with the production process organized around the clock in three shifts,” the report said.
The facility includes a spinning department, a fiber dyeing workshop and a laboratory responsible for quality control of raw materials and finished products throughout the production process. The yarn is primarily intended for the production of specialized fabrics, while production waste will be recycled to manufacture blankets, pillows and other related products.
The government said the launch of the new facility has expanded the range of products in Turkmenistan's textile industry and strengthened the country's export potential.
Meanwhile, the Bayramaly Textile Complex is one of Turkmenistan’s major textile manufacturing facilities and has operated as an important industrial center in the country’s textile sector. The complex has a vertically integrated production chain covering spinning, weaving, dyeing and sewing, allowing it to process cotton fiber into finished textile products.
The enterprise operates under the “Merw” trademark and produces towels, bathrobes, kitchen textile sets and other cotton goods. Its products are sold on the domestic market and exported to Russia, Belarus, Kazakhstan and Ukraine under the “Made in Turkmenistan” brand, according to Turkmen government data.
The complex has more than 850 employees and has been expanding its production capabilities through the installation of equipment from foreign manufacturers. In the first four months of 2026, it produced marketable goods worth 49 million manats ($14 million), exceeding its production target by 36%.
The launch of additional processing capacity is part of Turkmenistan’s broader efforts to increase domestic processing of raw materials and expand higher-value textile production for both domestic consumption and export markets.
