GSG was witness to this optimism in our show space at ISPA EXPO as visitors came looking for ways to enhance their products and methods. Crowds had a great response toward our new Gribetz Spectrum mattress quilt machine. Gribetz engineer, Michael James, hosted a series of presentations in the booth that define key leaps in mattress construction during his 35-year career in the industry. Our booth guests enjoyed hearing from Michael, but they were mostly enthusiastic about the new, unique styles this machine can create.

While optimism runs high in the mattress industry, so does challenging competition, and everyone wants differentiation to set themselves apart from others. Our customers acknowledged that this unique quilt machine is ideal for just that! The Spectrum has 15 independent sewing heads that can automatically switch to different patterns for the most efficiently produces stylish quilt panels in the industry.
