Belarusian textile company Orsha Linen Mill is modernising its garment factory at a cost of more than Br3 million ($1.23 million). The company processes linen fibre and produces fabrics as well as finished piece and sewing products from them. All groups of finished pieces including men's, women's, and children's clothing are made at the sewing factory.

Orsha began modernising its garment factory in late 2019 with the main goal of increasing output capacity and product choice. The factory employs about 200 workers and has a capacity to make nearly 3 million pieces per annum.

The company is also setting up an additional facility on 1,000 sq m of land, which is expected to create 60 new jobs. The construction and installation work is complete, and the facility is expected to be commissioned soon, Belarusian media reports said.

The new facility will have two process lines—one to make trousers out of flax and the other to produce shirts and blouses. It will have capacity to produce nearly 14,000 pieces per month.

At present, 80 per cent of Orsha's products are exported to 43 countries across the world. The modernisation project will enable the company to begin making new products with better quality standards, the reports added.
