After establishing itself in the USA and Europe, Barnet began a \u201cpivot\u201d to Asia to continue its vision of becoming a truly global company.\u00a0 With the tremendous growth of the textile industry in China, Barnet saw China as a market for the products it manufactured and a source of raw materials it could use in Europe and the US.\u00a0 <\/span><\/h4>\n

The first step into China was the establishment of Barnet Pacific (BPAC) in 1995.\u00a0 Hong Kong was, at that time, the gateway to China and was the major port through which goods from the \u201cwest\u201d were imported and products from China were exported.\u00a0 BPAC initially focused on the Shenzhen\/Guangzhou China region, but after a short time BPAC added the entire East Asia market including Japan, Korea, Taiwan, the Philippines, Vietnam, Thailand, Indonesia, and many other countries.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

With a booming Chinese economy taking off in the 21st<\/sup> century, Barnet Trading was founded in 2004 in Shanghai to expand Barnet\u2019s business in China\u2019s mainland. Barnet Trading (BT) has grown a significant network of suppliers and customers in China providing sources of raw materials for Barnet\u2019s operations and markets for Barnet\u2019s products.\u00a0 Barnet Trading also serves China\/Asia operations for many of Barnet\u2019s key global customers.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

By 2011, it was clear to Barnet that it could better serve customers in Asia by establishing a manufacturing site in China.\u00a0 The Barnet China team identified a site in Qingpu for Barnet\u2019s first manufacturing location in Asia \u2013 Barnet Fibers Shanghai (BFS).\u00a0 The initial objective of the manufacturing site was to produce precision cut fibers for wet-laid nonwovens producers in the region.\u00a0 Many of the customers in the region were global companies which were served by Barnet in the US and Europe.\u00a0 These global companies wanted to be supplied by a local entity in Asia as opposed to importing fiber from external Barnet facilities.\u00a0 Additionally, China was growing a significant technical paper market of its own, and BFS benefitted from this as well.\u00a0 Today, BFS has added other processes which have expanded its markets allowing Barnet China to serve the same broad range of customers that are served in the Americas and Europe.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Today, these 3 entities, BPAC, BT, and BFS form a tremendous team representing Barnet in a quickly growing region.\u00a0 Barnet Asia was founded with a focus on Barnet\u2019s traditional commodity Fiber, Yarn, and Polymer businesses.\u00a0 More recently, like the rest of the Barnet world, Barnet Asia has established a tremendous base for Barnet\u2019s growing Technical Fibers business.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
