"Since installing the GTxL we have increased our productivity by 50 percent on some patterns. We used to cut 40 pieces per hour with two employees. Now we cut 60 pieces per hour. And it's much safer for our cutting personnel because they don't have to lift heavy templates." Full story.

"The GERBERcutter is a big space saver. Now, in one nine-hour shift, we cut about 1,000 yards (915 meters) of material, including clear and laminated vinyls, acrylics, and even military-type vinyl, which is heavier and harder to cut. The GERBERcutter also helped us reduce our labor requirements; we went from six people to two in the cutting room. And we get more consistent cutting -- you don't miss notches or other details. We essentially doubled our sewing capacity and decreased our cutting room needs." Full story.

"All our products are unique, but they share one similarity: they're not high-volume runs but are all customized for highly specialized uses. Our GERBERcutters cut parts for most of the industries we serve, from Teflon to Kevlar and polyethylene to Vectran." Full story.
