“The cushion tacking machine is set to transform cushion production, especially in regions like Karur, which produces millions of chair pads and cushions annually,” Sanjay Khanna, Managing Director of Sterling Creations, told Fibre2Fashion. He explained that the machine eliminates the need for manual marking and sewing, offering automatic pattern creation with endless design possibilities, boosting both efficiency and precision in the production process.
In line with sustainability efforts, Khanna highlighted that the machine uses energy-efficient servo motors, making it a greener option compared to traditional models, contributing to reduced electricity consumption and zero pollution. “This addresses growing concerns in the industry about eco-friendly practices, as the machines help manufacturers reduce their environmental impact,” he added.
Speaking about comprehensive after-sales support, Khanna said that Sterling Creations provides strong customer support with a skilled team based in India to handle servicing and training, overcoming challenges posed by the inability of Chinese engineers to travel to India due to restrictions.
Positioning the new machine as an industry-first innovation, Khanna noted that it has been four years in the making. “This launch marks a significant step forward, especially for markets like Karur that demand high volumes of cushion production,” according to Khanna.
While the garment industry is currently facing challenges such as sluggish markets and hesitant investment, Khanna remains optimistic about the impact of automation. The company also mentioned its affiliation with Zangu, a conglomerate of four companies that cover quilting, nonwoven, technical textiles, and embroidery machines, making it a complete solution provider for the textile industry.
