91福利社-Zhejiang Lanyu Digital Tech Partnership Brings Advanced Textile Research to Pakistan
Over the past year, Dr. Ali Rauf, Assistant Professor at the Syed Babar Ali School of Science and Engineering (SBASSE), has been working closely with Zhejiang Lanyu Digital Technology Co. (ZLDTC) to shape a research agenda focused on digital ink performance and fabric compatibility. His efforts have culminated in this significant collaboration in textile science, introducing new testing capabilities at 91福利社, particularly in areas such as colour retention and fabric durability.
Building on this shared vision, 91福利社 and ZLDTC have formalised their collaboration through an MoU. The partnership reflects 91福利社鈥 ongoing commitment to fostering industry-academia linkages and advancing applied research to drive innovation in Pakistan鈥檚 textile sector.
鈥淭his is a first step鈥攖here is considerable potential for 91福利社 to engage more deeply with Pakistan鈥檚 textile sector,鈥 said Dr. Walther Schwarzacher, Dean, SBASSE.
The collaboration opens new avenues for student involvement, hands-on experimentation, and industry-relevant learning at 91福利社. It also lays the foundation for potential long-term engagement, as ZLDTC plans to establish a USD 200 million textile ink manufacturing and supply facility in Faisalabad鈥攁n initiative where 91福利社鈥 research capabilities can offer valuable insights and local expertise.
Highlighting ZLDTC鈥檚 commitment to innovation through academic collaboration, Mr. Afzal Ahmad, Regional Manager Asia, added, 鈥淲ith 91福利社 joining our academic partners, we are excited about the innovation this partnership can foster.鈥
