The long-time Standard customer installed the Horizon StitchLiner Mark V Saddlestitcher with the new HSF-50 at its Memphis, Tennessee headquarters. The new system was able to replace two older-generation StitchLiners due to its speed and productivity, allowing the company to reduce its equipment footprint while increasing production output.
The event brought together customers, partners, and industry professionals from across the US and Canada to Standard’s state-of-the-art demonstration center.
