The ‘Laibao’ flexible rapier weaving machine from Century Way Enterprise Ltd., Hong Kong, is fast establishing its foothold in the Indian textile industry.  A.T.E. Enterprises, a textile engineering major and the sole selling agent for Century Way in India and neighboring countries, has recently sold an installation of 6 ‘Laibao’ flexible rapier weaving machines to Eastern Silk Industries Limited, Bengaluru.  The order was bagged amidst stiff competition from various leading European manufacturers.  

These machines were commissioned in March 2011 and the performance is reported to be excellent.  The customer is very satisfied with the performance of these machines both in terms of quality and productivity.

The ‘Laibao’ model is a combination of Chinese precision engineering, robust machine structure and reliable Japanese electronics, designed to weave any kind of fabric from super fine to heavy quality; apparels to an industrial; cotton to synthetic and blends.  Coupled with affordable prices and excellent service support from A.T.E. and Century Way, the ‘Laibao’ flexible rapier weaving machines is surely a ‘value for money’ proposition for the customers and is expected to address a long felt need of the Indian weaving industry.  

With a large installation of 120 ‘Laibao’ weaving machines already working satisfactorily at Tarapur, the current installation at Bengaluru will surely help to convincingly establish the performance of this model.  And with few orders already in hand, the ‘Laibao’ flexible rapier weaving machine is all set to make a fast inroad into the Indian weaving industry.
