TECHNICAL FABRICS FOR SPECIAL PURPOSES
Korolevskaya Shelkovaya Fabrika Peredovaya Tekstilschitsa produces modern technical fabrics for special purposes used for manufacture of parachutes, body armors, crash helmets, rubber rescue devices, pneumatic structures of airmobile hospitals for Emergency Control Ministry. Like all textile enterprises the factory is facing a number of serious
challenges, such as lack of domestic raw materials base, 
deteriorated
physically and technically manufacturing equipment. Thanks to consistent
marketing, technical and personnel policy aimed at re-equipment and
modernization of production, preservation of human resources and improvement of
social conditions of workers, the management of the company has managed to
preserve the unique production, qualified personnel and to increase production
volume of fabrics. Reconstruction and technical re-equipment, installation of
new manufacturing equipment allowed CJSC KSF Peredovaya Tekstilschitsa to improve quality of fabrics, obtain agile
production and opportunity for further extention. Particular emphasis is given
to optimizing the manufacturing technology of ballistic multifunctional
materials made of high strength aramid fibers, used for production of body armor facilities for military
personnel of any kind of military branch and machines armoring. Body armors,
made of these fabrics, are in all respects superior to existing models. The products are of high fragments
resistance and protect from a wide range of weapon, retain strength properties
at high temperatures. Quality management system, certified according to
international standard ISO 9001:2008, was implemented at
factory. The enterprise has a Certificate No. 1510052714. This allows us to expand
markets, improve enterprise management, reduce production costs and improve
quality. The production of the factory is well-known on a domestic market.
Today the company is taking steps to develop an international market,
participating in international exhibitions. In 2010 KSF Peredovaya
Tekstilschitsa was awarded an award of governor of the Moscow Region “For
achievements in the field of industrial production” as a result of merit in the
field of textile and light industry. Being a winner of all-Russian contest
“Best Russian enterprises: dynamics, efficiency, responsibility-2009” the
company was awarded a certificate of chamber of commerce & industry in
nomination “For sustainable development of production". In March of 2010
the company was awarded the A.N. Kosygin Award “great achievements in
addressing the problems of economic development in Russia”.
The company's expected future development is related to increasing demand for fabrics, used for production of body armor facilities and local armor protection that can withstand high-speed bullets and fragments. The enterprise faces the task to shift production of all aramid fabrics to high-tech weaving machines, i.e. to re-equip the manufacturing process and to replace domestic machines with micro shuttles by installing rapier weaving machines. The company investigates the market and studies the possibility to process carbon fibers to produce fabrics fibers or to process unidirectional structures for structural carbon fibers, used in aircraft contraction and other industries, as well as to produce multi-axial fabrics that have a number of competitive advantages, such as:
• reduction of layers of fabric when laying;
• composites manufacture process optimization;
• reinforcing the composite material in different directions;
• reduction of coupling agents, contained in structure of multi-axial fabrics;
• physical integrity improvement;
• plain surface of laminated material.
Due to of incoming requests, the company has developed an opportunity to produce fabrics with low level of air permeability for fundamentally new parachute systems. One of the important business lines is manufacture of fire and heat-resistant fabrics for special-purpose clothing for the workers of oil and gas complex and energy companies.
