After some delay has a company been established for the manufacture of the FibreLux instrument. Mr. Johan Joubert has been appointed Director of Nekan Trading (Pty) Ltd, the company that will be responsible to manufacture the instrument.

NATWOOL TRUST has been accepted to be the distributor of the instrument in South Africa. This responsibility is also formalised in a “Heads of Agreement” to be signed between Nekan Trading and members of the consortium (who were responsible to develop the instrument). Nekan Trading has now approached NATWOOL TRUST to place an order for the instruments.

The instruments will be on sale from next year for an amount of R15 000 excluding VAT. Interested parties can contact the NWGA Head Office, Bonita Francis. Photo of Portable Fibre Diameter Measurement Instrument
