Core service — Lustenau mill, Austria
Contract embroidery means this: you bring the design, we bring the machines, the embroidery programme and the people who connect the two. Your brand, your customer, your market — we appear nowhere. That is how we have worked since 1999, as an extended workbench for trading houses, fashion brands and textile publishers.
We work with both constructions. A Schiffli machine runs the goods as a continuous web across the full machine width — in our mill up to 15 metres, with 160 needles per 5 metres. For yardage, continuous all-over designs and genuine lace there is no alternative. A flatbed embroidery machine works on the individual piece instead: cut parts, covers, formed components — and materials that never come as a web. Leather and Alcantara, for instance.
You send a design. That can be a finished embroidery file, a drawing, a photograph or a piece of fabric to be reproduced. You may supply the base fabric yourself or we source it to your specification — which is cheaper depends on material and quantity and is clarified when you enquire.
What you do not need to bring is a running embroidery programme. Punching, stitch mechanics and the test run are our work. You receive a hand sample and an honest price before series production begins.
Design or idea, fabric, quantity, target date — informal is fine. Feasibility answered within two working days.
Punching, stitch mechanics, test run. Embroidery programme and hand sample for approval, with an honest price.
Production on Lässer and Saurer machines with continuous quality control. Thread tension, needle position and stitch mechanics are checked by hand before the first web runs.
Making-up as agreed, shipped from the Lustenau mill — on the Swiss border, an hour from southern Germany.
Anyone looking for Schiffli quality asks about the machinery first. We run large embroidery machines by Lässer and Saurer — the reference class of the trade. Manufacturer LÄSSER lists Sükün Embroidery as a reference customer for its Schiffli automation.

A client has their own design produced on someone else's machines. The mill provides machines, embroidery programme and skilled staff — design, brand and sales channel stay with the client. We do not appear in front of your customers.
A Schiffli machine embroiders continuous yard goods across the full machine width — up to 15 metres with 160 needles per 5 metres. Conventional embroidery heads decorate individual finished pieces. For yardage, all-overs and lace there is no alternative.
Either way works. You supply it, or we source it to your specification.
No. A drawing, a photograph or a piece of fabric to reproduce is enough. Punching into a running programme is our work.
Within two working days of receiving design, fabric details, quantity and target date.
Yes, from our mill in Lustenau, Austria — on the Swiss border, an hour from southern Germany.
Yes, by appointment. Many buyers want to see the machines before placing a series — we think that is sensible.
