The group, from the China Innovation and Development Association, visited Huddersfield to look at a number of opportunities including the town’s world leading textiles industry.

The itinerary included a visit to the The Textile Centre of Excellence, a major conferencing, research and training facility, where they saw what is believed to be the world’s first Multiple Laser Surface Enhancement (MLSE) processing machine, which has the potential to revolutionise the textile processing industry.
