  • We're delighted to share the story of PT Sukorejo Indah Textile, which is a leading producer of sarong, which symbolizes Indonesia's rich cultural diversity. Founded in 2004, the company has since integrated over 200 Picanol airjet weaving machines. And the OmniPlus-i Connect weaving machines have been pivotal in terms of reaching the company's manufacturing targets. 🙌 PT Sukorejo Indah Textile opted for Picanol as our machines are equipped with advanced weaving technology, which enables the customer to weave complex motifs and patterns with ease. The OmniPlus-i Connect weaving machines it has selected are not only highly sophisticated but also user-friendly and very efficient, which ensures the production of top-quality fabrics. 🧵 Sumaryadi, Head of Production at PT Sukorejo Indah Textile, greatly values our high-quality weaving machines and exceptional after-sales service, and, in particular, highlights the effective support and training that streamline its production processes. 🤝 We are very grateful for our partnership with PT Sukorejo Indah Textile and we look forward to further growing together in the future! 🚀 #picanol #letsgrowtogether #beconfident #customerstory

  • Celebrating innovation and partnership at AITEX in Spain. 🎉 On May 8, 2025, we organized a remarkable customer event at AITEX in Alcoy (Spain), together with our agents Eduardo De Pineda and Jorge Sempere Blanes. AITEX, which is the Textile and Cosmetic Industry Research Association, recently acquired two Ultimax rapier weaving machines for educational purposes. And one of these machines weaves a fabric featuring the AITEX building to commemorate the 40th anniversary of AITEX which is being celebrated this year. 🏢🎂 We’d like to say a huge thank you to the entire AITEX team for investing in our top-of-the-line weaving machines and allowing us to connect with so many of our valued Spanish customers. Our agent, Eduardo De Pineda, and Sales Manager, Lieven Engelbeen, were given the opportunity to showcase the exceptional versatility of the Ultimax machines to over 100 attendees. 🌟 We also celebrated 60 years of partnership with Aguilar & Pineda Asociados, S.L., which reflects three generations of joint passion for the textile industry. Here's to many more prosperous years ahead! 🧵✨
