Many finishing companies have developed from previously specialized companies, for example bleaching or dyeing works , and now work purely as subcontractors for others. In addition to the manufacturers of fibers , yarns , twisted threads , fabrics , cloths , etc., their customers also include the processors of these, i.e. large fashion houses , carpet manufacturers , interior decorators , furniture manufacturers , ship and aircraft outfitters , wagon builders , etc.

Textile outfitters mainly use industrial processes, mostly to a relatively large extent for economic reasons ( economies of scale ) and are therefore large consumers of the raw materials or preliminary products required for this. This applies above all to heat , gas or electricity - e.g. B. for heat setting and as drive energy - and water - for various processes of steaming , washing , for liquors , etc. - whereby large amounts of wastewater are usually generated. These are mostly polluted with very special types of pollution, so that textile outfitters of a certain size often operate their own special sewage treatment plants .

Technically working textile finishers have become rare, but as niche companies and so-called alternative production sector still exists, mostly specialized in very few or highly specific steps of the textile finishing.
