Is there anything that you would like to underline?

The most important problem of the sewing thread in our country is that there are many companies that do not have any quality assurance certificates and they are trying to make sales only with price criterion. Although there are some companies that want certain criteria, some manufacturers can purchase like this. It should be noted that raw material prices are now very close to each other in peer products and cheap sold threads are out of standards either as thickness or meters. The samples from the market confirm this. We request from the manufacturers, they should not make purchases with a single criterion.
