US based W. L. Gore & Associates and a producer of functional textiles has partnered Taiwan based Formosa Taffeta Co to produce Gore-Tex fabrics for Formosa's consumer fabrics business. For this purpose, the joint venture has built a factory, with Gore providing the equipment and technical support necessary to produce high quality textiles.

Gore has been supplying laminated base fabrics to Formosa Taffeta since a long time and since Formosa is a globally influential textile supplier, Gore chose to invest in the factory as a partner.

The facility has been officially opened and is scheduled to commence commercial operations in the fourth quarter of this year.

The factory will deliver universally consistent high quality fabrics using a production process compliant with safety and environmental standards as set out in Gore's product promise. (AR)
