Sanyin is located in Rizhao, a scenic coastal city in Shandong province, one of the largest textile-producing areas in China. The company was set up in 1983 and employs over 1800 people including 200 office staff and 1600 factory workers. Sanyin has spinning, weaving and knitting activities as well as producing chemical fiber. Its weaving mill is equipped with 136 Picanol airjet machines including 40 recently installed OMNIplus Summum looms. Sanyin focuses on production of high-end sheeting fabrics for the overseas market, mainly Europe, the US and Japan, as well as supplying domestic customers in China.
Mr. Yang, chairman of Sanyin, knows from first-hand experience that Picanol airjet technology guarantees the finest fabric quality due to optimal machine performance combined with the lowest energy consumption in the market. This is achieved thanks to the continuous efforts of Picanol in developing new, innovative insertion technologies, as well as the unique main drive system together with other labor and energy-saving functions.
Picanol weaving machines also have the smallest footprint of all machines in the market, an aspect that is becoming more and more important as land values continue to rise worldwide and users must implement cost-saving programs, especially with regards to energy and labor costs during the weaving process in order to maintain a competitive advantage. Once Mr. Yang had taken all facts into consideration he was 100% convinced to choose Picanol as a long term partner. "We focus on producing the highest quality bed sheeting, not simply producing in volume. Picanol continually offers the right solution and service levels for us." The strong partnership built up between Sanyin and Picanol will last long into the future.
