Ivanovo Polytechnic University at “Galtex” and “Konovalovskaya Manufacture”

On February 3rd, a delegation from the Polytechnic University visited the Vichuga textile companies “Galtex” and “Konovalovskaya Manufacture”.

The company "Galtex" and its leader Vasily Galitskov are well known at the university. There is a basic department of the enterprise, and at the enterprise itself, where more than 1,000 people work. The guide for Rector Yevgeny Rumyantsev, Head of Practice and Employment Department Elena Vlasova, and Head of the Textile Department of the scientific and educational center Irina Barabanshchikova was Anna Elaeva, a fourth-year part-time student who is already successfully working there.

Anna recalled that the company makes products in a full cycle: from weaving, finishing, dyeing and stuffing of fabrics, to sewing finished products. Today "Galtex" occupies 30% of the cotton wafer linen market and a fifth of the market of coarse calico and other cotton fabrics. In 2020, the company launched new equipment for printing and dyeing fabrics with a width of 220 cm. In 2022, a new large weaving production was launched.

At the Konovalovskaya Manufacture, the Polytechnic University delegation was met by General Director Boris Gorelov, our graduate. The directions of cooperation were discussed. Both enterprises are looking for graduates of the IVSPU to work in various areas of training related to textile and clothing production.
