BIRMINGHAM, Ala. – In response to the ongoing coronavirus crisis, Kamber Narrow Fabric Machinery LLC, a global trader and specialist in pre-owned weaving, braiding and knitting machinery, announced that it is able to convert various narrow fabric production machines to new specifications in less than two weeks.

 

A number of textile and apparel producers have or are in the process of adapt their machinery and equipment to produce needed supplies for healthcare employees, first responders and others. Kamber has more than 200 frames in stock with which it said it can build any custom loom needed.

 

“If you’re worried about down time, Kamber’s unique Hot Swap Program lets us loan machines pre-built to your needs while your machine is being updated,” said David Giltz, director of sales, North America. “Your business never goes offline!”

 

Its Hot Swap program offers manufacturers the opportunity to have their narrow fabric needle looms completely refurbished with a full one-year warranty and with zero minutes of downtime with their current machines, he added.

 

Based on the auto industry’s car loaner program – which is when a car dealer provides a customer with a temporary car while their own car is being repaired – Kamber can custom-build a machine per the customer’s specs and then swap it with the machine needing refurbishment. Each machine needing refurbishment can be rebuilt to the customer’s same or new specs.

 

“Please know the health and safety of our clients and employees will always be paramount,” Giltz said. “Still, it can be frustrating to just watch and wait. So it’s exciting to know some of our clients are quickly transitioning to provide desperately needed medical equipment and other products now in short supply. If you are doing this or want to weigh your options on how quickly you could pivot, Kamber is ready to work with you.”
