VMA Showcases Sewing Automation Solutions at CISMA 2025 in Shanghai

    CISMA 2025, the China International Sewing Machinery & Accessories Show, was held from September 24 to 27, 2025, at the Shanghai New International Expo Center. As one of the world’s leading professional sewing equipment exhibitions, CISMA 2025 brought together global sewing machine brands, garment technology suppliers and apparel manufacturing professionals.

    This year’s exhibition highlighted the future direction of the sewing machinery industry, with strong attention on automation, artificial intelligence, digital sewing systems and more efficient garment production solutions. For garment factories, the focus is no longer only on buying individual machines, but on finding practical equipment that can improve production efficiency, reduce labor dependence and stabilize sewing quality.

    As a sewing automation solution provider, VMA SEWING MACHINE CO., LTD successfully participated in CISMA 2025 and presented a range of sewing machines and automation equipment to international visitors.

VMA at CISMA 2025: Connecting Automation with Real Factory Needs

    During the exhibition, the VMA team welcomed customers from different countries and regions, including visitors from Brazil and other overseas markets. Many customers showed strong interest in VMA’s automatic sewing machines and practical garment production solutions.

    At the booth, VMA introduced both automatic machines and standard sewing equipment, helping customers better understand how different machines can be used in real garment factory production.

    Instead of only displaying machine appearance, the VMA team demonstrated machine operation, process flow and finished sewing results. This allowed customers to clearly see how each machine works and what production problems it can solve.

Featured Machines Displayed by VMA

V-T5878-58DY Automatic Polo Placket Sewing Machine

The V-T5878-58DY Automatic Polo Placket Sewing Machine was one of the key automation machines displayed at the exhibition.

Polo placket sewing is an important process in polo shirt production. Traditional manual placket sewing requires skilled operators to control fabric placement, stitch alignment and sewing consistency. The automatic polo placket sewing machine helps improve process standardization and finished garment appearance.

This machine is suitable for garment factories producing polo shirts, sportswear, casualwear and knitted garments that require stable placket sewing quality.

V-FPS-PR Automatic Folding Machine

The V-FPS-PR Automatic Folding Machine was also presented as part of VMA’s garment finishing automation solutions.

Garment folding is a repetitive process in apparel production and packaging. Automatic folding equipment can help factories reduce manual operation, improve folding consistency and make the finishing process more efficient.

For garment factories handling large production batches, automatic folding solutions can support better workflow management and more stable packaging quality.

V-W500APW-BHR Automatic T-Shirt Bottom Hemming Machine

The V-W500APW-BHR Automatic T-Shirt Bottom Hemming Machine attracted attention from customers who focus on knitwear and T-shirt production.

T-shirt bottom hemming is a high-frequency process in garment factories. Manual hemming may lead to unstable seam width, inconsistent feeding and lower production efficiency. The V-W500APW-BHR is designed for automatic tubular T-shirt bottom hemming, helping improve sewing stability and production output.

This machine is especially suitable for adult tubular T-shirt bottom hemming and knitwear production lines.

Why Sewing Automation Became a Key Topic at CISMA 2025

    CISMA 2025 showed that the sewing machinery industry is moving from traditional single-machine supply toward automation, digital operation and process-based solutions.

    Garment factories today face several common challenges:

• Rising labor costs
• Shortage of skilled sewing operators
• Higher quality requirements from buyers
• Smaller production batches with more style changes
• Need for faster delivery
• Demand for more stable production output

    Automatic sewing machines help factories respond to these challenges by reducing repeated manual work, improving process consistency and making production easier to manage.

    For example, automatic polo placket sewing can help standardize a difficult shirt process. Automatic T-shirt bottom hemming can improve knitwear production efficiency. Automatic folding can support the finishing and    packaging stage of garment production.

    Together, these solutions show how automation can support different stages of garment manufacturing.

Positive Customer Feedback and Business Results

    During CISMA 2025, many visitors showed strong interest in VMA’s machine demonstrations. Customers praised the practical machine design, stable operation and clear process application.

    Some interested customers exchanged contact information with the VMA sales team for further communication after the exhibition. After follow-up discussions, several customers placed orders, showing the practical value of VMA’s displayed machines and the trust built during face-to-face communication.

    The success of the exhibition was not only based on machine display, but also on the professional explanation and teamwork of VMA’s sales staff. By introducing machine functions, application scenarios and production benefits in detail, the team helped customers better understand how VMA machines could fit into their factories.

From Standard Sewing Machines to Automation Solutions

    VMA’s participation in CISMA 2025 also reflected the company’s development direction.

    In the past, many garment factories mainly purchased basic machines such as lockstitch machines, overlock machines and coverstitch machines. These machines remain important in apparel production, but modern factories increasingly require equipment that can solve specific production bottlenecks.

    Today, VMA focuses more on automation and process-based solutions, covering machines for:

• Polo placket sewing
• T-shirt bottom hemming
• Garment folding
• Elastic waistband sewing
• Pocket attaching
• Buttonhole sewing
• Seamless garment processing
• Special garment process automation

    This direction allows VMA to provide more than machines. It allows the company to support garment factories with practical production solutions.

VMA’s Commitment to Global Garment Manufacturers

    CISMA 2025 gave VMA an important opportunity to communicate directly with international customers, understand market needs and present the company’s sewing automation capabilities.

    For customers from Brazil and other global markets, VMA demonstrated not only products, but also its ability to provide process-oriented sewing solutions for real factory applications.

    Looking ahead, VMA will continue to focus on sewing automation, practical machine development and long-term customer service. The company aims to help garment manufacturers improve production efficiency, reduce labor dependence and achieve more stable sewing quality.
