IsroeI NyIon Industry Praised

Israel-produced ful fashioned
nylons stand good chance of
competing in foreign markets pro-
vided their costs are somewhat re-
duced, according to Mr.. V. Teljo,
a Finnish manufacturer, who is
now completing a six-month U. N.
Technical Assistance assignment
in Israel, as adviser on synthetic
fibre goods production.
One of the chief factors inhibit-
ing the emergence of strong,
competitive nylon industry, Mr..
Teljo believes, is the existence of
some 400 knitting establishments
in Israel, which range from large
factories with several hundred
employees to primitive one-man
workshops. In order to compete
successfully, it is important. that
factories specialize in a sma1le,
number of items, and that their
equipment be standardized. Uni
form quality is a necessity, an
to guarantee the high level of the
finished product, quality control
should be introduced and workers
trained. In this connection he
noted with satisfaction that IL.
$4,000 will be invested in equip
ment for textile school in Ramat
Gan.
The Finnish expert remarked
that he was most impressed by
the style and design of locally
produced knitted goods.
