Among all other industries, denim fabric production is a more technology-driven industry. Most factories are fully integrated and have all the specialized machines from cotton to packing. To run that type of mills, we need skilled people. Engineers working in production and sales, and marketing people need to understand the product's dynamic. Any engineering needs a high-level education which takes years. Because of that, the young generation is not choosing to study textiles and spend years in production. I believe that after the current denim generation, there will be a big problem in finding the right people. In my opinion, we can only solve this problem by investing in high-tech production methods and computer-aided technologies.
