A Swiss maker of fine cotton yarns, Hermann Buhler AG, has established a US branch, Buhler Quality Yarns Corp., in Jefferson, GA. The company bought an existing spinning mill in 1995, completely overhauled the structure, and delivered its first yarn in July 1996. The plant, which runs seven days a week, processes Supima cotton for US industries, such as knit goods and upholstery. The plant's production equipment is described.

The installation of a robotic package handling system eliminated the need for manual handling. The assembly of cotton cones into pallets and their progress through the plant's vacuum-steamer system are described.
