Largest ever Machine Destined for China

This LCL tufting machine with FRS attachment breaks new ground for Cobble. It is the largest machine of its type to be shipped to China and will be going into production with a new customer. The 4 metre wide 1/8? gauge machine can produce commercial or domestic carpet and was completed in a particularly tight time-schedule ready for installation and commissioning during April at the customer's new purpose-built factory in Central China.

This latest order confirms Cobble's growing importance as a supplier of high quality tufting machines to carpet manufacturers across the Far East and particularly in the rapidly growing Chinese market.

The company has been selling carpet machinery and ancillary equipment to customers in China for more than 40 years and has forged strong links with leading carpet manufacturers throughout the country.

Manufacturing in Blackburn, where this latest machine was made, is now complimented by local production at the Cobble Group's own purpose-built factory in Suzhou, near Shanghai in Eastern China. As well as serving the Chinese market, this new factory will also export machines to carpet manufacturers worldwide.
