Origins:
Oshima group was founded over 40 years ago in Taiwan by Mr Teng Wen-Tong. He was born during the global Great Depression, during a period when Taiwan was under Japanese rule prior to World War II. Taiwan’s textile industry was heavily reliant on imported machinery during this time. As an apprentice in a textile factory, he saw an opportunity and began importing antique machines and modifying them, creating a successful business. The company grew from there, and Mr Teng earned a reputation for his unique ability to “turn challenges into commercial success”. He took Oshima to a prominent position in the industry as an international brand, and in the process earned himself the nickname “the King of Spreading Machines”. Today Oshima are an industry leader with global reach.
Forward thinking:
Oshima are driven by research and innovation and are continually developing and investing to extend their product offerings. They currently have a service and distribution network which covers more than 52 countries and are continuing to expand! Oshima were one of the first companies to realise the dangers which lost needles can cause, especially when producing clothes for babies and children. They have been developing needle-detecting equipment since 2003 and are one of the market leaders.
