China Linen Textile Industry, Ltd one of China's leading linen fabric and linen yarn producers and exporters, announced financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2011.

Mr. Gao Ren, Chairman and CEO of China Linen, said: "I am pleased to report that the third quarter of this year was marked by continued growth in revenue and net income despite our strong performance in the same period last year. For the first nine months, we expanded our sales and distribution channels for our linen fabric and yarn. While linen fabric sales increased 21.7%, we were able to expand the sales of linen yarn by 598.9%, which helps to drive both top and bottom line expansion.

During the first nine months, we moved closer to our objective of becoming a more fully integrated linen producer by bleaching our own products and introducing high margin color yarn products. International sales remained robust, accounting for 58% of revenues as global fashion industry increasingly utilized pure linen and blended linen products."
