Trust-Built Partnership: How LEADSFON's Custom Solutions Support a Quanzhou Textile Giant for 14 Years

In the textile industry where "change" is the norm, long-term cooperation between equipment suppliers and manufacturers is a testament to mutual trust and professional strength. For 14 years, LEADSFON has maintained a stable cooperative relationship with one of Quanzhou's top textile mills, supplying nearly 400 circular Knitting Machines to support its multi-category production layout. This case not only showcases LEADSFON's product reliability but also reveals how customized equipment solutions can help enterprises gain a competitive edge in the fierce market.

Quanzhou, as a core base of China's textile industry, has a complete industrial chain covering chemical fiber, weaving, printing and dyeing, and garment manufacturing. The cooperating top textile mill focuses on producing underwear, sportswear, and casual wear fabrics, with the demand for multi-variety, small-batch, and high-quality production. When the two parties first cooperated 14 years ago, the mill was facing a critical problem: the existing equipment had poor compatibility, and a single machine could only produce limited types of fabrics, which could not meet the market's diverse needs.

Targeting this pain point, LEADSFON customized a full set of circular knitting machine solutions for the mill, with a focus on three core models: single jersey open width machines, Double jersey open width machines, and rib/interlock machines. All machines adopt a 34-inch specification, which is the most suitable size for the mill's production workshop layout and fabric width requirements. Among them, the single jersey open width machines are designed with a needle gauge of 28-40G, which can flexibly adapt to different yarn thicknesses. They are equipped with an advanced split cloth and winding system, which eliminates the midline crease problem common in traditional machines and ensures the full utilization of fabrics. These machines are mainly used to produce high-quality fabrics such as fine-gauge underwear cloth and elastic sportswear fabrics, perfectly matching the mill's mid-to-high-end product positioning.

The double jersey open width machines with 20-38G needle gauge are another key part of the solution. They adopt a German-style steel wire track structure, which reduces friction and ensures stable operation even at high speeds. The 20-38G wide needle gauge range allows the machines to produce both thick fabrics such as cotton fleece and thin fabrics such as roman cloth, covering the production needs of casual wear and cold-proof clothing fabrics. The rib/interlock machines with 20G needle gauge are specialized in producing 1*1 and 2*2 rib fabrics, which are widely used in the cuffs, collars, and hems of various garments. Their stable elastic knitting performance ensures the consistency of garment accessories, enhancing the overall quality of the mill's products.

Over the past 14 years, the nearly 400 LEADSFON machines have become the core production force of the Quanzhou textile mill. The customized solutions not only improve production efficiency by 30% compared with the mill's previous equipment but also reduce the defect rate to less than 0.5%. What's more, LEADSFON provides on-site maintenance services and spare parts supply within 24 hours, solving the mill's worries about equipment operation. This long-term and stable cooperative relationship has also become a model for LEADSFON to serve small and medium-sized textile enterprises. For textile mills that are struggling with multi-category production and equipment selection, LEADSFON's customized experience can provide valuable reference.
