“It goes without saying that the current global business environment has become very challenging. At Picanol, we are confident, however, that by choosing the right partner, these challenges can be faced. We want to be the best possible partner for our customers so they can do just that. Not only are we continuing to expand our sales and service network to ensure we are as close as possible to our customers, but we also want to be the world’s leading weaving machine manufacturer and offer the best products and technological solutions. Committed to our four design principles – Smart Performance, Sustainability Inside, Driven by Data, and Intuitive Control – we have once again succeeded in terms of setting the benchmark in the industry. As a premiere for the Chinese market, we will introduce the brand-new Ultimax rapier machine and novelties on our OmniPlus-i Connect airjet weaving machine. We will also be showing PicConnect, our unique digital platform. All of this will be demonstrated with our five machines and the state-of-the-art demo possibilities we will have at our booth,†comments Johan Verstraete, Vice President Weaving Machines.
