Eton Systems, the world's leading provider of unit production systems (UPS) for the sewn-products industries, announces that Vinyl Technology Inc, a military and commercial contract manufacturer, will implement the Eton materials handling and factory floor data collection system in its Monrovia, California (USA) manufacturing facility in the fourth quarter of this year.
The three line, 54-workstation installation will be used initially to produce a large military subcontract that the company was recently awarded for U.S. Army carrying cases.
Vinyl Technology Inc. is a leading contract manufacturer of custom made plastic and industrial fabric products for use in military, space program, medical, extreme sports and recreation applications.
The company's client list includes the U.S. Department of Defense, General Electric, NASA, Siemens, TRW, Westinghouse, and numerous small businesses, multi-national corporations, and branches of the U.S. military.
In addition to an extensive heat-sealing operation, the company offers sewing, printing, cutting, ultra sonic welding and engineering services. Its inventory of more than 100 industrial sewing machines includes heavy-duty equipment for cargo straps and leather applications, light-duty equipment for parachute fabrics and insulation blankets, computer programmable machines for specialty programs, and virtually everything in-between.
“Eton is a key component of our aggressive modernization initiative”, noted Dan Mollura, president and member of the company's second-generation family ownership.
