proel s.r.l. Italy

We began in 1977 as a general electronic design and construction company. Some years later we understood that the embroidery sector was developing rapidly and was well-suited to the application of all the electronic and computing expertise that we had acquired up to that time. The widespread use of personal computers favored the large-scale extension of embroidery technology and for us this meant rewriting all the programs to make them compatible with our Customer's machines. Our first Schiffli system originated in 1984 and we decided to operate simultaneously on Schiffli Machines as well as on Multihead Machines. Thanks to our persistence we have grown rapidly and thanks to our dynamism we have been able to keep ourselves up to date technologically. The start of the 90' certainly marked the height of our efforts and investments, in particular in regard to software research and development. Towards the middle of the 90', thanks to our embroidery software we had already conquered a good slice of the world market and the trust of many embroiderers. . . but we wanted to offer them much more. Many Customers needed to cut the fabrics to be used (in particular applications to be embroidered) and so we decided to undertake a new venture: to apply laser technology to the textile sector. Similarly to what we have always done and still do for our products, on this occasion also we decided to achieve our objective by proceeding independently. The result of our efforts has been a series of machines for laser cutting and engraving (EuroCut, FlexiCut, JumboCut, MegaCut) specific to the textile sector but so versatile that may also be used in other sectors. In 1999 we released the first version of Millennium III, one of the most powerful and complete embroidery packages currently available on the market, suitable for both professional use and for beginners. In 2000 we introduced to the market laser machines with videocamera, a true innovation in this sector. In 2001 we have extended Millennium III with new tools such as Autopunch and PhotoEmbroidery that allow you to convert images and photographs respectively into embroideries, @Embroidery for the creation of multimedia catalogs and the publication of WEB pages and many other innovative tools. In 2002 in we introduced the GalvaLaser onto the market, a new machine with a galvanometric laser system that makes it possible to engrave and cut directly on the hoops of embroidery machines. In that same year we also released a new software for laser machines, Focuscut III, a CAD program not only equipped with all the tools needed to draw and import any cutting / engraving shape but also able to rasterize images with the aim of engraving them on many types of material. In 2003 we renewed the entire range of laser machines equipping them with new electronics and with very fast brushless motors. Furthermore, we have added a new model to the range, the EuroFlex, featuring a truly compact design. In that same year we also introduced the EvoMatrix onto the market, a new laser machine with a Galvanometric Plotter System. During 2003 we have improved our embroidery software (Millennium III) and our laser machine software (Focuscut III) equipping them with truly innovative new tools and functions. In 2004 we introduced LaserBridge onto the market, a bridge device that may be used with any multihead embroidery machine to cut fabrics directly on the embroidery hoops, without unhooking them from the machine. In 2007 we introduced FlexiStone onto the market, the final solution for hotfix stones on TAPES and on the fabric (with ULTRASONIC welding system) Today, we operate successfully all over the world because our products, as well as being truly competitive, are continually developing to follow both the sector trends and the needs of our Customers and also because, while you are reading this page, we are already thinking about new products that could simplify your work. . .
