Speciality Yarn Dyers (SYD) was established in March 2005 as a business partnership between Tom Gate and Philip Stucken and the main focus was on natural fibre dyeing. Over time the needs of the Stucken Group increased and a service of hank and cone dying for MSSA began. In 2010, after the Stucken Group acquired Hinterveld, the dye house started producing custom dyed yarns to meet their Private Label needs. Today, having the dye house facility in close proximity to the Group's spinning and weaving operations offers many advantages in flexibility, customization, and general turnaround. The dye house offers a unique service to the Group's value add operations.
