Hand on heart, many companies have a big problem with warranty service for industrial sewing machines. Most dealers just imported their machines from China, but never established effective training for mechanics in South Africa. The result is sad - expensive equipment sits idle in production for months. Our factory HighTex is located in China and organizes technology training for our specialists at least once a year. For setup and commissioning, our mechanics travel to anywhere in South Africa. If the repair is complex, we involve our colleagues from headquarter and the best technologist fly to the production site to monitor the solution to the problem and the resumption of work.
