Makeover of the Picanol showroom

© 2022 Picanol
The Picanol showroom in Ieper has a completely new look. From the floor to the lighting and the ceiling, everything has been renewed to create a modern and inviting showroom.

The full range of airjet and rapier weaving machines of the Connect generation and the new digital platform PicConnect can be discovered in the renewed showroom. And the visitors can attend meetings in complete comfort in the open reception areas. Furthermore, on the three integrated screens further explanations can be given.

“In our completely modernized showroom we want to welcome our customers and give them the desired machine demonstrations and presentations just like we do at the textile machinery fairs. The new showroom has the recognizable look and feel of a Picanol exhibition booth. Digitization was very important in the renovation, so all machines and screens are linked to a network and the lighting is fully modular, so that the weaving machines are being optimally displayed,“ explains Lieven Beke (Marketing & Product Manager).



Customers interested in visiting the renovated showroom and production facility in Ieper are welcome to get in touch with their personal contact at Picanol and ask them about it.
