In 1994, MMS made a significant breakthrough in garment manufacturing by designing and patenting the world’s first automatic button shank wrapping machine, engineered specifically for use with Ascolite TF thread. This innovation streamlined a previously manual process, improving both efficiency and consistency in button attachment.
Following this development, MMS and Ascolite formed a partnership. MMS focused on developing the machines, while Ascolite supplied the heat sealing thread. This partnership continued successfully until 2014.
In 2010, the MARK 11 machine was born, representing a major step forward in button wrapping technology. Designed to handle a wide variety of button types, it quickly gained recognition for it’s versatility, reliability and ease of use.
Thousands of MARK 11 machines have since been sold around the worldwide, each proudly manufactured by MMS in the UK – reinforcing the company’s reputation for quality engineering and dependable performance.
In pursuit of the world’s fastest machine MMS launched the MARK 22 machine, the first machine to fully utilise an automatic button feed mechanism. It’s unique tower design meant the operator could feed the whole shirt into the machine whilst preparing another shirt or operating a secondary machine in tandem.
