E ASTMA N
EMPHASIZES ON AFTER-SALES SERVICE TO CAPTURE
BANGLADESH MARKET
E
astman Machine Company needs
no introduction as it’s one of the
few American companies which is
extensively providing cutting room
solutions for the apparel and other sewn
products industries for more than 135
years now. 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
