CRAiLAR Technologies Inc. confirmed this week that it has commenced running production grade fiber at its new Pamplico, S.C. manufacturing facility. This followed minor delays at the facility to ensure safety and compliance within the water and fire protection systems in the building, along with customization to communications software that ensures the safe operation of the production line. These adjustments have now been completed.

"We have waited a long time to be in direct control of our production line from the standpoints of fiber quality, integrity, and volume," stated Ken Barker, CEO of CRAiLAR Technologies. "This is an important milestone for us as a company and the industry as a whole as we execute CRAiLAR Flax Fiber introductions at multiple sectors of retail and industry in 2013."
