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. For Schlafhorst, INDIA ITME also proved a worthy occasion for holding a small reception to thank the Indian customers who have made such a significant contribution to this remarkable success.

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.
