Vibemac has always been at the forefront of delivering automated sewing solution to the apparel industry for manufacturing denim jeans and trousers. The Italian pioneer with more than 30 years of experience in servicing the global apparel industry was present at the GTE with his product range. “The last year has been a tremendous success for us. We have a monopoly in the denim export market and we have been successful in tapping into the domestic market too which is a big prospect for any technology manufacturer,” excitingly said Enrico Guerreschi, Global Sales Director, Vibemac Spa.
The 3022WB406, automatic waistband unit, which is entirely manufactured in Italy, is capable of waistband application on jeans, casual trouser and denim jackets.
Highlighting the importance of Indian domestic sector further, Enrico muses, “India has a population of 1.5 billion which is almost twice the population of USA and Europe put together. This is a market no one can ignore. The only problem is that on an average an Indian wears a jean for 3-4 years. When this number would rise to even one jean a year, we will be looking at a market of 1.5 billion jeans per annum.”
Enrico believes that the Indian domestic sector no more lacks the will to invest in technology. “Right now if a manufacturer makes 300 jeans with 30 workers, using our automated solutions, he can produce 1000 jeans in the same space with the same number of workers. Once the manufacturer sees this advantage, they find us a better option to the cheaper sewing alternatives,” explains Enrico.

Amongst the machines in focus was the 2261HR Feed of the Arm unit, best suited for back yoke, back rise, in-seam and out-seam plus top stitch operations in jeans, casual trousers, work clothes and denim clothes in general. A special belt puller grants very fast feeding and perfect matching between the sewn parts. In terms of productivity, 2261HP can work at 4999 RPM; this high speed can be achieved only due to its several outstanding features, like oil feeding lubrication, design and construction quality, puller device and a special sensor for the dynamic pressure presser foot control (DCP system). This system avoids all the skip stitching troubles also on the crotch double thickness, the most critical point for every feed of the arm machine existing in the market.
Also of interest for many visitors was the 3022WB406, automatic waistband unit, which is entirely manufactured in Italy. The machine is
capable of waistband application on jeans, casual trouser and denim jackets. The remarkable simplicity of design, the improvement in speed and electronic management of material transport makes 3022WB406 a perfect unit that meets every kind of fashion requirement desired by the jeans and trouser manufacturers.
