The high-tech laser cutter enables dedicate design processing such as marking and delicate applique cutwork. "With the local apparel industry providing direct and indirect employment to over one million people, there is a clear need for our industry to become more technologically savvy and this is our contribution towards achieving that goal. These machines provide employment for over 3,000 in the embroidery industry, generating over US $70 million annually in foreign exchange."
