Integration with Atlanta Attachment

The operation

GTN integrates custom-made folders with services provided by Atlanta Attachment Company. The folder turns the material before it reaches the needle, so the seam finds it already folded.

Who makes it: GTN

Global Technical Network, Inc. — GTN — provides design and mechanical engineering services for industrial sewing equipment. It is based in Auburn, Georgia (USA), was established in 2002 and specializes in equipment manufacturing, automation attachments and custom tooling.

It designs the clamping tooling and programs the data chips that let a programmable sewing machine handle a specific piece — a label, a pocket pattern — and makes the machined parts in its own machine shop, treated against rust. Besides automated stations it builds custom workstations and manual work-aids, designed with the operator and their safety in mind.
