Eastman Machine
Over a century ago, a Canadian inventor named George Eastman developed the first fractional electric motor that could be mounted on a machine.
The motor was attached to a reciprocating knife mechanism and the first electric fabric-cutting machine was born--The Eastman. The Eastman revolutionized the apparel industry with a tool that ended tedious manual cutting-room labor. After countless patents and improvements from the first cutter built in 1888, Eastmans current product line includes over 100 machines that are sold worldwide and are the standard by which all cutting machines are judged.
Today, Eastman serves diverse world-wide industries from its headquarters in Buffalo, NY, its sales office in Hong Kong, its factory in Ningbo, China and its 50 worldwide dealers. Eastman is one of only a few manufacturing companies that can lay claim to thriving through three centuries, an accomplishment credited to upholding a tradition of delivering durable machinery, superior service and expertise. From the original Blue Streak straight knife cutting machine, to the most recent state-of-the-art Eagle Automated Cutting Systems, Eastman offers the worlds widest range of cutting application solutions.
