The PILOT Process Research Center has established Korea’s first pilot-scale spinning and dyeing line, covering the entire process from spinning to dyeing.

The center supports domestic textile and fiber companies by developing advanced spinning technologies, conducting material evaluations,
and producing small-batch prototypes. In addition, it supports chemical materials and plastic processing companies
through processing technology development, material evaluation, and functional research utilizing its extrusion and injection molding facilities.
