Global competition has ensured that apparel manufacturers have to enhance productivity and quality to remain competitive, especially for mass manufactured products. Denim jeans is one such commodity item that offers opportunity to improve productivity and manpower utilization by using sewing automats. Since an operator’s work is restricted to loading of the feeding clamp, these automats improve quality by ensuring precise and consistent overlap, and by minimizing human intervention. Having made a name for itself in the Asian apparel manufacturing sector, Focus Garment Tech has gone ahead by developing an automatic sewing machine for Denim jeans manufacturing, in association with Chinese sewing machine pioneer, Supreme Nisho.
Supreme Nisho offers advanced sewing automats for jeans stitching operations that enhance productivity, manpower utilization and operation deskilling. Denim jeans have a huge market because of its acceptability across all sections of society in all countries, and Focus Garment Tech is capitalizing on its popularity by offering manufacturers products which will enhance their productivity. The company showcased its products for the first time at AAMA-TEX 2014 in Singapore, and is confident that the denim jeans manufacturing industry will benefit greatly by using them.
