Eton Systems, the world's leading supplier of unit production systems (UPS) for the sewn-product industries, announces that HomTex Inc, which is a leading domestic maker of high-quality sheet sets, mattress pads, and pillow cases; has successfully completed the conversion of its Vinemont, Alabama manufacturing facility from manual processes to fully automated unit production systems.
Over the past five-plus years, the company has implemented a total of five Eton production lines, which are now used to produce its entire line of branded and contract bedding products.
Founded in 1988 as a contract sewing company, HomTex Inc caters to the hospitality, retail and home furnishing industries. With the growth and popularity of luxury mattresses, the company developed its DreamFit brand to meet consumers' needs for a better fitting linen line that would stay on their bed during the night.
Currently manufactured at 250, 310 & 420 thread counts, the patented DreamFit fitted sheet comprises the highest quality materials that exceed industry standards and sells at mid-point retailers and specialty sleep shops.
HomTex has also focused significant effort on improving production flow and productivity in its 99,000 square-foot facility. With a total of 85 employees, the company produces approximately 25-30,000 units per week on its five Eton production lines. “With Eton, we were able to increase ouroverall productivity by 20 percent”, noted Jeannie Long, General Manager at HomTex.
