Summary
Craftsmen and workers responsible for final finishing processes such as surface treatment, shape finishing, and inspection of felt products made from hemp as raw material.
Description
Hemp felt finishers are specialists who perform final finishing on felt made from hemp fibers using machines or manual labor. They remove fuzz from edges and surfaces, compress and shape using steam or presses, and adjust the thickness and hardness of the product. They also conduct quality control by visually and tactilely inspecting the finish and removing defective products. The work requires some physical labor and delicate handwork, and is typically performed on production lines in factories.
Future Outlook
Although the domestic traditional fiber product market is shrinking, the demand for skilled specialists is expected to be maintained to some extent due to needs for handicrafts and high-value-added products.
