Industry & Occupation
Classification
Summary
Moroken manufacturers are professionals who produce napped fabrics (moroken) by performing raising processes, handling operations from warping through weaving, raising, and finishing via machine operation and quality control.
Description
Moroken manufacturers are specialists who, after the warping and weaving processes of raw yarn, use raising machines to perform napping to raise fibers on the fabric surface. After processing, they conduct shearing (to uniform nap length), dyeing, washing, finishing presses, etc., to ensure product texture and quality. They handle machine setup and adjustment, periodic maintenance inspections, advanced quality inspections to improve yield and reduce defects, and also manage operations based on production plans.
Future Outlook
As textile products advance in functionality and high value-added features, demand for specialized processing technicians is expected to remain stable. On the other hand, with progressing automation and labor reduction, there will be a need for both advanced machine operation skills and quality management capabilities.
