Tata Group’s Voltas Limited presented flat knitting machines of Chinese brand, LongXing from parent company Jiangsu Jinlong Technology Co. Ltd. at the show. The Chinese company has been the recipient of many awards including the “National Torch Program Project” and “China’s Well-known Trademark”.
Lovedip Singh Longia, representing the company at the fair said, “We have positioned our single system fully computerized machines for the upstarts or for those who are trying to move from hand flats to automatic solutions. The semi-automatic machines, which were until now the only low cost option, are no match to our product which offers a much better cost to value advantage, as they overcome all their limitations at a nominal hike in price.”
The LXC-131 from LongXing is a deft single system knitting machine with widen knitting width and gauge range from 5G to 16G. Fast and stable carriage rotary system can make knitting faster and more efficient. The machine is perfect for basic patterns like plain stitch, rib fabric, link-and-links, and at the same time can knit fancy patterns like jacquard, eyelet stitch, cable, racked and plush stitch.
Though, LongXing would face tough competition in penetrating the Ludhiana market, as there is already a presence of numerous other Chinese machines manufacturers in the market, Lovedip is confident of his product. “Tata Group is an established symbol of reliability all over the country, so it is obvious that we would not join hands with anything but the best. These machines are no doubt Chinese, but they are no less than the European machines in productivity. The principle is a respected corporate group which manufactures 25 to 30 thousand machines in a year,” adds Lovedip.
