Industry & Occupation
Classification
Summary
Velour weavers use special weaving techniques such as pile weaving to manufacture velvety velour fabric, handling everything from machine operation to inspection and quality control.
Description
Velour weavers use looms and special weaving techniques such as pile weaving to manufacture velvety velour fabric. They set up the raw yarn, adjust appropriate tension and pile height, and then carry out production. During production, they visually inspect the weave, yarn fraying, color unevenness, and other quality issues, and if defects are found, they adjust the loom or perform maintenance. After manufacturing, they hand over to the finishing process and regularly inspect and lubricate the machines to maintain stable operation. They are required to have the ability to balance efficiency and quality in line with production plans.
Future Outlook
Due to advances in automation and overseas production, demand for labor is on a declining trend, but demand for skilled technicians is expected to be maintained in sites for high-value-added products and small-lot multi-variety production.
