At Picanol, we are confident, however, that by choosing the right partner, these challenges can be faced. 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. As a premiere for the Chinese market, we introduced the brand-new Ultimax rapier machine and novelties on our OmniPlus-i Connect airjet weaving machine. We also showed PicConnect, our unique digital platform.” comments Johan Verstraete, Vice President Weaving Machines.
