Eastman has a stronghold in the Bangladesh apparel industry since last five years and to further reinforce its roots in the country, the company showed up in Garmentech. The key highlight of Eastman during the event was its trademark product ES-660 spreading machine which is suitable for all types of fabrics such as woven, knit, denim, cotton and twill. Mohammad Rawshan Ali (Shaheen), Country Manager – Bangladesh, Eastman CRA (HongKong) shared, “We don’t want our customers to worry about fabric type as due to season change, products change, and shared fabric also changes. We have inbuilt attachment in the machine, i.e., extension mesh and extension roller to spread knit fabric.” EASTMAN HAS ACHIEVED 20 INSTALLATIONS LAST YEAR AND IS EXPECTING MORE IN THE COMING YEARS. AND THE GROWTH MAP OF THE COMPANY IN LAST FIVE YEARS SHOWS A REMARKABLE ACHIEVEMENT OF MORE THAN 120 INSTALLATIONS IN BANGLADESH. The spreading machine can handle weight capacity up to 150 kg both in flat fold and roll fabrics. In roll fabrics, it can handle diameter of up to 50 cm. To consume less power, Eastman has designed inbuilt control PLC and drive control system in the spreader. With a spreading height of 20 cm, ES-660 can achieve the maximum spreading speed of approximately 97 m/minute. Further, electrical configuration is not set up inside the machine, but separately outside the machine with the LCD touchscreen control panel. Such a set-up will avoid heating in the machine that damages the circuit board, thus giving longer life to the machine. In order to let the customers use ES- 660 in an optimum way, Eastman is focused on after-sales support. They have 4 engineers in their technical team. “Regardless of which agent sold the machine, if the factory is using Eastman machine, we provide them after-sales service,” claimed Shaheen. Eastman has achieved 20 installations last year and is expecting more installation in coming years. And the growth map of the company in last five years shows a remarkable achievement of more than 120 installations in Bangladesh. Eastman has a great role in initiating cutting room automa
