One continuous thread

Most fabric passes through four companies before it reaches a cutting table. Every stage below happens inside RyderTex, in one industrial cluster, on machines we own.

Spinning hall at RyderTex: rows of spinning frames in one-point perspective, bobbins of white yarn on every station.
01Spinning

Yarn is the first variable, so we own it

A knit programme is decided at the spinning frame. Compact Siro and Vortex lines run greige and dyed lots in cotton, polyester, rayon, acrylic, modal and cellulosic blends, including heather, slub and space-dye effects.

02Knitting

300 circular machines, 18 to 40 gauge

Six machine classes cover open width, single knit, double knit, French terry, jacquard and rib at 30 to 38 inch. Single knit lines absorb five-times order spikes; double knit scales to 20,000 kg a day.

03Dyeing

Three dye houses, each built for one fabric class

Colour is where most supply chains lose a week. We run three specialised houses rather than one general-purpose plant, so an activewear lot and a nylon lot never queue behind each other.
