About Us

Kamber Home OfficeKamber Textile Machinery Corp. (KTMC) was established in 1985 specializing in good used Narrow Fabric Equipment.  Soon after, a line of new equipment representation for USA and Canada was added.  In 1996, the company was split into new and used equipment activity.  KTMC continued sales and service in new equipment.  The newly formed Kamber Narrow Fabric Machinery then concentrated in good used and rebuilt equipment worldwide.

In 1998, we moved into our current large facility at 3978 Valley East Industrial Drive.  The year 2002 brought additional exciting changes.  Our main supplier, Webtex Ltd., with Continuous Finishing & Dyeing Equipment, extended our sales and service territory to cover all of North, Central and South America.  Simultaneously, we merged the two companies into one, the Kamber Narrow Fabric Machinery company.

October 1st, 2005 was another mile stone in our growth.  Our long term (18 years) supplier, Webtex Ltd., filed for bankruptcy.  We, in turn, then purchased limited assets of Webtex in Administration for the purpose of producing spare parts and providing service to the hundreds and hundreds of clients operating Webtex equipment.  In September 2007, we sold the “Webtex” product line to Jakob Müller in Switzerland.
