Excerpt
Excerpt: Textile Mills comprise a group of industries that transform a basic fiber (natural or synthetic) into a product that is further manufactured into usable items such as apparel, sheets and towels, and textile bags for individual or industrial consumption. The main processes in this subsector include preparation and spinning of fiber, knitting or weaving of fabric, and finally the finishing of the textile. The NAICS structure follows and captures this process flow. Major industries in this flow such as preparation of fibers, weaving of fabric, knitting of fabric, and fiber and fabric finishing are uniquely identified. Texturizing, throwing, twisting, and winding of yarn contains aspects of both fiber preparation and fiber finishing. In the end, the decision was to class these with preparation of fibers rather than with finishing of fiber. The subsector Textile Product Mills includes the production of textile products, except apparel. With a few exceptions, processes used in these industries are generally ?cut and sew,? i.e. purchasing fabric and cutting and sewing to make a non-apparel textile product such as sheets and towels. By creating a separate subsector, the classification more accurately reflects both the production aspect and the strong desire for a separate identification for these activities by many data users.
