18th Century

The first significant change in clothing manufacturing technology came in the 18th century, at the time of the invention of the spinning jenny. The machine could spin multiple threads simultaneously, leading to less manual labor and more productivity.

19th Century

In the 19th century, the industrial revolution estimated more developments, like introducing the power loom, which could weave fabric much faster and more efficiently. As the demand for clothing increased, the manufacturing industry grew rapidly, putting pressure on manufacturers to develop more advanced and efficient tools.

Automation

Technology has played a huge role in speeding up the production process, improving quality, and making clothing manufacturing more efficient and cost-effective. The clothing industry lies in embracing newer and cutting-edge technologies.
