Stanislav Porub, Head of the company’s network, opened the meeting by reminding the audience about the company’s activities, successful initiatives and announced new models of modern sewing equipment “Jack”.

The main part of the event was devoted to detailed coverage of the main characteristics of the A5E-A “Jack” universal machine, the C7-4-M03/333 “Jack” special purpose sweeper, the M5-F11AFF13F25-X “Jack” semi-automatic machine and other equipment.

At the end, the operation of the M5-F11AF13F25-X “Jack” semi-automatic machine, which connects the parts of the knots along the contour, was demonstrated. For example, the invited guests saw the processing of a placket, the covering of a top collar with a bottom collar, the setting of a patch pocket on the main part, etc. with the help of various templates. All those present were pleasantly surprised by the voice guidance of the machine in Ukrainian and the convenient navigation of modern sewing equipment.
