challenging. At Picanol, we are confident, however, that by choosing the right partner,
these challenges can be faced. We want to be the best possible partner for our cus-

service network to ensure we are as close as possible to our customers, but we also
want to be the world’s leading weaving machine manufacturer and offer the best prod-
ucts and technological solutions. Committed to our four design principles – Smart
Performance, Sustainability Inside, Driven by Data, and Intuitive Control – we have once
again succeeded in terms of setting the benchmark in the industry. As a premiere for
the Chinese market, we will introduce the brand-new Ultimax rapier machine and
novelties on our OmniPlus-i Connect airjet weaving machine. We will also be showing

machines and the state-of-the-art demo possibilities we will have at our booth.”
