Kiabsa is involved in the export of all types of low/high value yarns which are produced from various materials such as cotton, polyester, viscose etc. Low value yarns most common are cotton end yarn and ring spun yarn in coarse counts whereas in the higher range there are cotton yarns in the 40’s-60’s count range with various value additions such as gassing, mercerizing etc., Also there is a range of synthetic yarns being polyester, viscose etc. and blended yarns such as poly viscose, poly cotton etc. There is also a range of linen and jute yarns which are exported by Kiabsa.
There is another exciting category within yarns where Kiabsa is well experienced. This is the export of wool and acrylic yarns made from re-generated fibre (old materials). This yarn is very popular for the manufacturer of low range products in the blanket industry worldwide especially in East Africa and South-West Europe. Kiabsa also brings in many fancy yarns.
There is demand in some parts of Asia also for different stock lots of yarns coming in from the western world. The pricing depends on the quantity available and the reason for stock availability.
Traditional areas of Kiabsa’s business have covered Raw materials, Yarns, New garments, Home Furnishing etc., though today these product categories contribute in a smaller way to Kiabsa’s turnover and profitability but they are a very important segment of Kiabsa’s business model.
