SUMMARY

I have worked in textile industry for the last about 20 years after graduate school as a textile engineer (Researcher, Developer, and Manager of production).

I believe that I have deep knowledge and understanding of textile material and textile production processes by various textile products development experiences with suppliers and customers, and hands-on production management experience.

I had handled various textile material for development of textile products and had worked with various mills of each textile production processes to make the products that was match with target requirements.

There were always many problems and issues during development and manufacturing of textile products, because textile material has specific properties such as very thin and flexible, the production processes are complex and continuous.
