Soorty teams up with Rieter for traceable denim manufacturing in Pakistan
Denim manufacturer Soorty has partnered with spinning systems supplier Rieter to enhance traceability and sustainability in its operations in Pakistan. The collaboration integrates Rieter's advanced ring spinning technology into Soorty's fully automated spinning mill, enabling efficient yarn production with improved energy use and reduced environmental impact. Soorty's mill is capable of processing 22 different fibres at once, including natural, cellulosic and recycled synthetic materials, the business announced in a press release. The set-up includes 20 G 38 ring spinning machines operating at spindle speeds between 12,000 and 18,000 rpm and Autoconer X6 winding machines, enabling the production of slub yarns for contemporary denim applications. The partnership also incorporates Haelixa's DNA marker technology for fibre-level traceability. Applied during the blowroom stage, the markers allow each batch of yarn to be verified throughout the production process, from fibre to finished product. 'We've invested in the most advanced, fully automated machinery from Rieter for Soorty Spinning- not only for the performance, but also because we believe the technology that drives us should serve both quality and the planet,' said Soorty Spinning's COO Kashif Suleman in a press release. Soorty plans to expand this traceability system to its Soorty Organic Cotton Initiative, which supports over 1,000 farming families transitioning to organic cotton cultivation in Naal, Pakistan. The initiative also includes training for rural Balochi women, reinforcing Soorty's commitment to community uplift and sustainable manufacturing.

German firefighter says much learned in visit to Kingsport, Johnson City fire departments
KINGSPORT, Tenn. (WJHL) — A firefighter from Munich, Germany visited the Kingsport Fire Department on Monday and the Johnson City Fire Department last week to learn how responding to emergencies differs around the world. Andreas Rieter told News Channel 11 that while visiting friends in the Tri-Cities, he took the opportunity to tour and learn from local fire stations. Ballad Health posts $45M loss through six months of fiscal year 'And so it was a great experience last week in Johnson City, where I had the chance to visit different fire stations,' he said. 'And also today in Kingsport to see how they do things and what are the differences or what is the same, to meet new people. I really enjoy that firefighters are a big family all over the world, for sure.' Rieter said one difference he's noticed is the physical response to calls. He said although the methodology is different, fire departments around the globe seek the same result: helping as many people as they can. 'One of the major different things is that you respond with more trucks, [of] course, than we do, but we have more people on the trucks. So it is nearly the same when you arrive on scene. So your trucks are much bigger and look cooler than our German ones.' He said he was able to ride along with the JCFD to a house fire last week, where he learned multitudes about a Tennessee fireman's daily work life. 'The last week in a chance, there was a structure fire over a residential house. I was able to be there also on scene and the district chief showed me around and asked me how we do things and I got the chance to ask him right on scene, 'why is firefighters doing exactly this and that?' And it was interesting to see some small differences, but all in all, it is the same tactic that we use in Germany.' Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
