Santex Group, Swiss knit fabric finishing machinery manufacturer, has signed a contract with Gain Lucky (Vietnam) at the beginning of the year for the delivery of six Santashrink drying machines.

Santashrink has been designed to offer a solution for shrinkage, relaxation, and tensionless drying of tubular or open-width knitted fabric. Installation of the new machines is planned in batches until mid July.

Santashrink drying machines

Gain Lucky is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Ningbo Shenzhou Group, a major producer of knitted fabric and clothing based in Ningbo, Zhejiang, China.

In 2014 Santex already provided four Santashrink drying machines to Gain Lucky during the first phase of the project. All machines are manufactured by Santex (Shanghai) Textile Machinery, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Santex Group.

Santex founded its subsidiary in Shanghai in 2005 in order to provide Chinese customers with high quality textile machinery and local services. The manufacturer of machinery for knit fabrics finishing says it is committed to develop and maintain the Chinese textile market.

Major investments

There have been major investments in Southeast Asia during the recent years – especially in Vietnam and Cambodia.

Some Chinese textile manufacturers have set-up production plants in those countries. High quality, low maintenance costs, and on time service are the most important criteria, when it comes to investment decisions, the company reports.

Swiss company Santex AG, established 1982, is one of the leading manufacturers of textile machines for knit fabrics finishing.
