IFAI met the expectations of Eton Systems, not necessarily on the quantity of visits to its booth, but the high quality of visits from potential customers that expressed interested in the company, said, Tapio Martti, vice president of sales, Americas, Peachtree Corners, Ga.

“We were able to meet with wide spectrum of customers from large to small and from coast to coast,” he said. “The interesting part was the interest from smaller manufacturing companies that are also an interesting part of the long-term plan of our company to assist smaller customers to automate their manufacturing process for an increased efficiency in sewing operation. Our system perfectly fits the industry applications and allows us to speak to many different industries, and IFAI/ATA gives us a platform to reach a broad customer base looking to automate their processes.”

ETON Systems showcased a running ETON Systems Unit Production System that allows manufacturers to move bundled/buggy/boxed material from floor the Unit Production System, allowing 30-80% increase in manufacturing efficiency increase and increase needle time on sewing machines.

“Interest was high, and visitors were curious from many sectors of business,” Martti said.

“We spoke to customers from various industries, including tents, straps, truck bed covers, car covers, military clothing, medical applications, all looking to increase floor space and increase output which our system allows them to do so,” he added.

DREMA International Trade Fair of Machines, Tools and Components for the Wood and Furniture Industries is the most anticipated meeting for the wood and furniture industries in Poland and at the same time the largest supply centre for furniture manufacturers in Central and Eastern Europe.

For centuries, the United States had a thriving textile manufacturing industry. In the 1960s, about 95 percent of the clothing bought by Americans were made in the USA. In the 1980s it was around 70 percent.

The past year and a half have put an enormous strain on supply chains across the globe. Closed borders, reduced production capacity and general global uncertainty in the wake of the corona pandemic has been the main culprit. But recent events in the Suez Canal have also shown the vulnerability in our supply chains, where a seemingly trivial grounding created immediate shortage in western supply of industrial and consumer goods, with companies losing billions of dollars.

To say the least, many companies have started to question the norm of outsourcing production, involving complex and fragile supply chains. Seeing what’s at stake when things go wrong, the economic equation is not as simple as before. Reshoring – to bring production closer to home – has become a hot topic. But what are the advantages and what companies will benefit the most?

When needles are moving - value is added to your products! Eton Systems has developed a solution for the Garment industry that provides direct value and is cost-efficient for your business.

With UPS your operators will be able to focus their efforts on creating garments. Handling materials will be an easy and highly automated task performed only by few.

Eton Systems was born in the Garment industry. The first system was installed not far from our headquarters in Gånghester, Sweden.

The Opta System is designed to provide maximum value for the Garment industry. Producing garments have differing challenges from other industries. And we know what it takes to maintain a highly productive and efficient Garment production.
