Pascal Goiran, area manager of Matic.
Matic has gone into partnership with Kavalan in hopes of setting the standard in sustainable textile finishing.
The manufacturer of cutting, welding, and sewing equipment solutions for the textile sector and is committed to its development of social, environmental and economic goals.
Upon seeing in detail Kavalan’s range of PVC-free materials, the company both products would complement one another.
Area manager, Pascal Goiran, said; “We were immediately impressed by their commitment to creating high-quality sustainable products and promoting the reduction of resource consumption and environmental impact.”
Kavalan approached Matic to suggest they trial and evaluate Kavalan’s new industrial textiles, as well as some of the wide-format digital printing materials, a challenge that Matic gladly accepted.
Pascal continued: “We used the Matic Perseo 4000 Impulse to weld Kavalan’s Sunlight Weldable and industrial fabric. Additionally, we used the Cronos 4.0 to sew Kavalan’s SEG material, Moonlight River.
“I am delighted to say the results were flawless. What impressed me the most was that Kavalan’s innovative textiles welded perfectly with our Perseo 4000 Impulse in just three seconds, compared to the seven seconds typically required for traditional PVC materials. This is truly remarkable.”
Nova Abbott, head of marketing, at Kavalan, said: “Working with Matic has been a fantastic experience, and we at Kavalan are thrilled by the positive outcome and successful trialling of our PVC-free materials on the Matic welding and sewing equipment.
“Matic’s company principles of symbiosis and shared prosperity are a perfect embodiment of the similar mindset and approach to the market that our businesses have in common, with a strong focus on delivering what our customers need innovatively and sustainably.”
