THUN, Switzerland – Swiss-based Santex Group has signed a contract with Gain Lucky Ltd. of Vietnam for the delivery of six Santashrink drying machines.
According to Santex, Santashrink is the perfect solution for shrinkage, relaxation and tensionless drying of tubular or open-width knitted fabric. Installation of the new machines is planned in batches until mid-July.
