About TTRI
Taiwan Textile Research Institute (TTRI), with Taiwan Textile Testing Center as its first predecessor founded in December 1959, originally focused on the quality control and inspection of imported raw textile materials and exported textile products in Taiwan. In response to the rapid development of the domestic textile industry, the organization was renamed China Textile Institute in June 1971 and shifted its operation focus to the quality control, testing, and certification of textile suppliers and manufacturers.
From Inspection to Research and Development
In 1980, the organization was restructured to transform its operation from quality inspection to technical servicing and process R&D. In September 2004, the organization was renamed TTRI and since then, it has focused on textile R&D, service diversification, and expansion into international markets.
People and Expertise
The Taiwan Textile Research Institute (TTRI), located in Tucheng and Douliu Districts, employs approximately 350 full-time staff, 70% of whom hold master’s or doctoral degrees.
