The German textile machinery manufacturer Saurer Schlafhorst celebrated the sale of Autoconer winding unit number 2.5 million at INDIA ITME. The milestone winding unit will be delivered to the India-based textile company Kanchan India Ltd. in the first quarter of 2017.

Since then, the Autoconer name has been synonymous with automatic package winding. The Indian textile industry, which now boasts the second-largest textile production capacity in the world, also appreciates the benefits provided by all the different Autoconer product generations.
