Testimonials
“We save a lot of time on the production machine and we save a lot of yarn by making the samples on the Mtuft. With the Mtuft we only need one cone per colour from about 500 gr. ”
Carpet Manufacturer, Belgium
“Product made on an Mtuft with the construction of single straight needle bar, straight sewn solid shade textured loops and straight sewn servo scroll AB patterned loops is almost indistinguishable from the production product.”
Product Development Manager, Australia
“In our custom make business we supply Mtuft samples representing every type of construction we make to our customers. We have never had a customer complain that there were any differences between the Mtuft sample and the final production product they received.”

“The benefits are colossal. I can sit beside the machine and do color development work in minutes. There is no faster way to do color development work.”
Product Development Manager, New Zealand
“I got a request for a sample for an urgent contract Job at Midday. I had the yarn in stock, made the sample on the Mtuft and by 3:30 pm that afternoon the sample was with the courier.”

“The Mtuft makes any gauge possible. A single package of yarn can produce a sample using a small amount of primary backing, therefore reducing wastage.”
Yarn Manufacturer, India
“The turn-around time is so much quicker than the alternative of setting up a full production creel. We now have the time to sit back and actually design and innovate as opposed to reacting”
Product Development Manager, Australia
“A production machine will be down for several hours to do even a simple sample, this could be $5000 of lost production value on a modern high-speed machine. So, a sample from the Mtuft could save $5000!”
Carpet Manufacturer, New Zealand
