Early in 2021, Janome Sewing Machine Co. Ltd. (JSM) will celebrate its 100th year as a manufacturer of sewing machines. And, barring some unexpected market upheaval, the company will mark its centennial as the largest sewing machine maker in the world.
JSM produces more than 1.6 million household sewing machines annually at several manufacturing plants in Japan, Taiwan and Thailand. The company offers about 280 different models, ranging from mini units to those for industrial applications. Beginner and professional sewers alike prefer JSM machines because they combine affordability and high performance, with all models meeting the ISO 9014 quality standard.
