- What are your aspirations and plans for the future?: We have an on-going development program to modernize and expand our product range. Over the last couple of years we have brought out the following new machines. On the dyeing side, the Pyrotec³ Infrared dyeing machine, Colortec² Package dyeing machine for R&D and re-introduced a sample Winch dyeing machine. On the Quality Control side we have a new 9-head Martindale, Durawash, Durawash Plus and Washtecs.
- What types of projects are you interested in working on through Future Fashion Factory?: For us there are 2 main areas of interest: connectivity of all testing machines to provide data and reports of all tests performed; and a particular interest in the development of a commercially available instrument for the digital measurement of a fabric's tactile properties.
