Finishing fabrics to boost manufacturing

摘要

For cutting table manufacturer Summa, it is clear that Australian companies need to automate their fabric finishing to keep work onshore, as the benefits of fast turnarounds on short runs beat out the cheaper prices offered by exporters in the region. Australian Printer caught up with Wim Maes, executive director, Summa, while he was in the country, speaking to customers who had previously installed Summa tables, at the Pozitive offices in Western Sydney. Pozitive won the exclusive distributorship of Summa products last year. Maes and Trumble discussed the future of fabric finishing, and trends in the market locally, and globally.
