Who we are
QL Machinery specializes in one stage of textile production: the finishing of wool. We design and build machinery across the whole of the craft: tops processing, yarn steaming, wet finishing and dry finishing. We are based in Wuxi, one of the cradles of China's modern textile industry.
What we do
New machines
Wool-finishing machinery engineered and built in-house, to the highest standard we can reach.

Upgrades for the machines already in your mill, including European makes we have serviced for decades.
See service →The craft, kept
The company was founded in 1991, and in 1993 we formally entered wool finishing. In the years that followed we built a wide range of textile dyeing and finishing machinery, and wool finishing ran through all of it. Today it is the whole of our work.
We have long serviced and rebuilt the imported European machines running in mills across the country. We take them apart, calibrate them, and restore them by hand. From first principle to last detail, we know this craft whole. That is the ground every machine we build now stands on.
Our own WPF-4XS four-channel wool scouring and milling machines, from bare frame to batch assembly.
