The Eton upgrade will enable the custom vehicle cover manufacturer to add more loading,
sewing and packing stations to its existing system. Additionally, Covercraft is automating its
silk-screen printing process by installing a new sorting and handling system as part of the Eton
4000.
“With Eton, we have been able to double our operators’ productive needle time,” said Marty
Lichtmann, president, Covercraft. “This translates into an average increase in overall productivity
of 50 percent to 60 percent.”
