| Industry Description |
|
|
The Textile Mills and Products sector groups establishments that transform a basic fiber (natural or synthetic) into a product, such as yarn or fabric, that is further manufactured into usable items, such as apparel, sheets towels, and textile bags for individual or industrial consumption. The further manufacturing may be performed in the same establishment and classified in this sector, or it may be performed at a separate establishment and be classified elsewhere in manufacturing.
The main processes in this sector include preparation and spinning of fiber, knitting or weaving of fabric, and the finishing of the textile. Major industries in this flow, such as preparation of fibers, weaving of fabric, knitting of fabric, and fiber and fabric finishing, are uniquely identified in subsectors. Texturizing, throwing, twisting, and winding of yarn contains aspects of both fiber preparation and fiber finishing and is classified with preparation of fibers rather than with finishing of fiber.
Excluded from this subsector are establishments that weave or knit fabric and make garments. These establishments are included under Apparel Manufacturing. |
