Since 1991 we have done one thing: wool-finishing machinery.
Who we are
Three generations, one craft, since 1991.

Founded in Wuxi, starting in textile components and machining.
- 1996 Wuxi Yanqiao Weixing Textile Dyeing & Finishing Equipment Works 无锡市堰桥卫星纺织染整设备厂
Began building dyeing, drying and finishing machines. Started servicing and rebuilding imported European machines.

Today some call us QL. Others still know us as Xingweixing Machinery, or as Weixing Dyeing & Finishing of Wuxi. It is all the same house.
These were our old works. When the site was later cleared, Xingweixing was upgraded in full and became QL Machinery.

What we build
Machinery for the whole of wool finishing, from tops and yarn to finished cloth, designed and built in-house.
Rebuilds and retrofits
We rebuild European wool-finishing machines, and we retrofit the ones already running in your mill.
Alongside new machines, this is a large part of our work.
Pre-owned machines
Pre-owned European machines, fully rebuilt to order — and upgraded, if you wish.
See pre-owned machines →Retrofit & upgrades
Upgrades for the machines already in your mill, including European makes we have serviced for decades.

What sets us apart
We build the whole wool-finishing line, and we know all of it.
We can plan the whole floor.
At UZWOOLENTEX in Uzbekistan we drew the process route and the floor plan for the finishing hall, and supplied the great majority of its machines.

Since 1996 we have serviced and rebuilt the imported European machines running in mills across the country: taken apart, calibrated and restored by hand. From first principle to last detail, we know this craft whole.
Maintenance, rebuilding and service →We build under one roof.

To become a textile-machinery house that lasts a century, and to stand among the world's finest in our field.
Mission
What we bring the mills we serve.
To serve textile mills worldwide with wool-finishing machinery of the highest international standard.
Values
The principles behind every machine we build.
-
Mastery through focus.
-
Quality is the baseline, not the pitch.
-
Master the craft, then build what fits better.
-
Build what others cannot.
-
Run it as a hundred-year enterprise.
A wool-finishing machine runs in a mill for twenty or thirty years. A mill is handed down through generations.
Your mill and your machines deserve a partner who means to stay for the whole journey.
From Qiaolian and Weixing to Xingweixing and QL Machinery, we mean to keep doing this one thing, to the highest standard, for a long time to come.
Tell us which process you run. We will point you to the right wool-finishing machine, new or rebuilt.
A century house, for mills built to last.
