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.
