  "account": "SINGAPORE — On 27 October 2026, Asia Pacific Rayon (APR), a prominent viscose-rayon fibre manufacturer, bolstered its connection with India's textile sector through a Lyocell Fabric Processing Masterclass and attendance at the Yarnex 2026 Expo in Tiruppur, a prominent knitwear production center. These initiatives convened fabric manufacturers, processors, and other stakeholders to exchange technical expertise, examine processing obstacles, and investigate prospects for product innovation utilizing lyocell fibres.\n\nAs the demand for advanced cellulosic fibres escalates, businesses are seeking expert knowledge to refine fabric performance, ensure consistent quality, and broaden product applications. APR's engagements catered to this necessity by facilitating knowledge sharing and dialogues across the textile value chain. Sachin Malik, APR's Global Business Head, expressed: \"The response to both the Lyocell Fabric Processing Masterclass and Yarnex 2026 Expo was extremely promising. The high level of participation and caliber of discussions indicated partners' enthusiasm for technical knowledge, innovation, and collaboration. These engagements present excellent opportunities to exchange viewpoints and share best practices across the textile value chain.\"\n\nAPR's Lyocell Fabric Processing Masterclass addressed the technical requirements of fabric manufacturers, processors, dyeing houses, and finishing experts working with lyocell-based materials. The curriculum delved into practical facets of dyeing, finishing, process optimization, and fabric performance. Participants investigated best practices for attaining uniform quality and deliberated on strategies to overcome processing challenges linked to lyocell fabrics. Direct interaction with technical specialists enabled participants to exchange insights applicable to commercial-scale production. The high attendance and lively discussions mirrored the industry's interest in developing lyocell processing competencies as manufacturers strive to diversify their product portfolios.\n\nAPR's participation in the Yarnex 2026 Expo, complementing the masterclass, offered additional avenues to interact with stakeholders throughout India's textile value chain. As a subsidiary of the RGE group founded by Sukanto Tanoto, APR's involvement in the Yarnex 2026 Expo reinforced the significance of technical collaboration in fostering product innovation, quality enhancement, and market expansion for lyocell-based textiles.",
