MIK-BG Increases Its Energy Efficiency by Implementing New Production Equipment

MIK-BG Ltd is a Bulgarian company founded in 2003 with main activity production of women's clothes: shirts, blouses, skirts, dresses as well as uniforms. The estimated monthly capacity of the company is about 3000 pieces depending on the complexity and model of the product. By using subcontractors the month production reaches 5,000 pieces. The company works with local and international agencies and partners for world famous names in the fashion industry such as: CAROLL, Kenzo, Guess, Chanel, Diplodocus, SANDRO, Cacharel, Vanessa Bruni, Madame a Paris, Tara Jarmon, Maison Kitsune and many others. Clients of the firm are also various restaurants and pizzerias, fast food chains, travel agencies, airports, hospitals and other. With the current project the company will implement two measures to improve energy efficiency. These include the replacement of old equipment with new one and purchase of new production equipment. Modern textile machines offer a higher degree of automation of operations and higher efficiency. They will contribute to the automation of sewing process of the product, intermediate and final ironing and finishing operations. On one hand, automation will allow for one and same time to manipulate a larger number of products, which is vital for this type of production with short deadlines for export. Automation of operations like sewing buttonholes, intermediate and final ironing, sewing details will reduce faulty and waste units. Under the project MIK-BG Ltd intends to achieve annual energy savings of 127 512,99 kWh / yr. Planned energy savings will reach 24.76% and a factor of energy savings (ESR) 40,10%. Moreover, with the new equipment the company plans to increase production number more than five times from 36 000 to 191 000 clothes per year and eliminate the need for using other companies as subcontractors.
