Solent Sewing Machines, a family business was opened in the 1960s by the present owner, Ian Jenkins' Grandfather to service the local clothes manufacturing industry. The company is now in it's 4th generation! Times have changed with the shift in the clothing industry to Eastern Europe and Asia but our ethic remains the same, to make our customers the priority in everything that we do and to supply the best quality and most reliable service and machines. Working with Jentschmann AG, Zurich, in the 1980’s through to 2005, Ian Jenkins designed and innovated new machines and equipment for sailmakers who required long arm and special heavy duty machines, and sold them for Jentschmann worldwide. In 2005 on Mr Jentschmann's retirement and the company's change in direction, Solent purchased the long arm sewing machine business from Jentschmann AG and began to manufacture the same high quality machines in the UK. Solent have continued this and produced hundreds of long arm machines for sailmakers, tent / marquee manufacturers, cover makers as well as many other sectors. Solent now manufacture our own range of machines - available only from Solent and our authorized agents. These extra heavy duty machine have new technical innovations designed with the larger sail manufacturer (super and mega yacht sails) in mind. In 2004 we started our representation of Miller Weldmaster in the UK after we were approached by sewing customers who also had welding requirements and Miller Weldmaster asked us to work with them. We have gone on to supply many standard and automated systems to companies across many industries. Solent are UK distributors for Durkopp Adler and Seiko Industrial Sewing machines. We have been the European distributor of Sailrite products since 2004.
