Innovating cutting-edge technology for the sewing industry has been a regular practice for one of the top sewing machine manufacturers, Juki. Participating at GTE 2016, the manufacturer is present at the IIGM booth, its agent for the Indian market. The company introduced 13 new sewing machine models for the Indian market, which ranges from single needle lockstitch, overlock, bartack, button holing and button attaching to pocket sewing machines for jeans.
Juki has been increasingly focusing on automation in machines, as the company finds a growing demand of automats in the Indian market. “Apart from the rising wages and increasing infrastructure cost, the Indian apparel manufacturers are turning to automats, in order to increase their productivity,” explains Toshiyuki Yamanaka, Managing Director, Juki India. Also, the company is focusing on reducing manpower on the sewing floor by introducing short-thread trimming device in their new range of machines, which leaves only about 3 mm of thread, eliminating the requirement of a person to trim thread.
