Abstract
The author presents a personal comparison of the commercial and technical differences between the dyeing and finishing industries of the U. K. and Europe. Aspects covered are: the structure of the commission–dyeing industry; the attitude of converters and the control they exercise; associations formed by dyers; versatility and specialisation; modernisation programmes covering plant and equipment; costs and charges; plant utilisation; supervisory staff. The main conclusion is that the profit margins of dyers and printers throughout Europe, but particularly in the U. K., are too low, and their return on capital expenditure is poor.
