New Textile Mill Up & Running
Another incentive is the availability of a reliable supply of electricity at a good price.
A Zagis USA company spokesman says, "Because our equipment is state-of-the-art and controlled by programmable logic controls, the machines have frequency inverters that can regulate the fan speed, allowing us to optimize our production rate. The production and cleaning lines are controlled by air pressure, and, as the fans move down the line, monitoring this pressure and adjusting it can provide a higher rate of production.
"Any dip in power would stop our equipment and thus production," he adds. "Due to our advanced level of technology, we are reliant on a steady and reliable flow of electricity that is not typically available in countries that offer cheaper labor."
In addition to state funds and the power supply, transportation is an important factor since the yarn can easily be shipped out of the Port of Lake Charles, which is very close by.
After beginning operations last October, Lacassine I is using cotton grown in Louisiana, Arkansas, Mississippi and other states.
"Ultimately, we expect to purchase at least 25 percent of our cotton from Louisiana," notes the Zagis USA spokesman. "We buy our cotton according to leaf and color. It's also important to the mill that the cotton is mature and not overworked at the gin, so that it is not damaged or short in fiber by the time it arrives at our plant. We want to utilize a high-quality material that will be processed through state-of-the-art machinery."
