Major Market
Founded in 1953, TSFA currently consists of around 140 members the majority of
whom are specialized in manufacturing woven cloth of man-made filament.
Over 90% of the manufacture (including Nylon cloth, Polyester cloth, special
cloth, and new-synthetic fiber woven cloth) is for export. Its wide and varied
applications are in the production of garments for outdoor activities, snow
coats, apparel linings, men's and women's jackets or suits or shirts, cover sheets,
cloth for handbags and luggage, fire-retardant and bullet-proof products, anti-
UV industrial items, and so many others.
With incessant effort going into the development of synthetic fiber and dyeing
and finishing know-how, many TSFA members are known for business strategies
that are notably centered around greening in every phase of manufacturing
which conforms to major international environmental standards such as blue-
