Dong-Jin Textile is one of the most well-known players in the sports shoe fabric sector and works for big brand names worldwide. This company has its headquarters in Busan \/ Korea, and just like sports men and women, speed and agility are what have made it successful \u2013 and this manufacturer also demands the same high performance of its production machines. In the spring of 2018, Dong-Jin Textile expanded its production capacity with the acquisition of one of KARL MAYER\u2019s newest machines. This new jacquard raschel machine has been specifically modified and offers maximum patterning flexibility. It operates at a unique speed of 1,200 min-1 and is also special for another reason \u2013 it is the 125,000th machine to be delivered by KARL MAYER and is a measure of the company\u2019s high level of success.<\/span><\/p>\n

This high-speed machine was sent quickly by air on its way to the customer\u2019s site. It reached Incheon Airport on 14th July and immediately went into production, without first undergoing processing trials in the customer\u2019s research department, which had been the original plan.<\/span><\/p>\n
