If you’ve got a pair of jeans at home, they were probably made on a Picanol machine!

To keep up with global demand, Henk Ryckeghem and his team at Picanol partnered with Ibarmia to create one of the fastest Ibarmia machines in the world — a dual-spindle cell that machines aluminium profiles for weaving frames in just seventy seconds per part.
