Walk right in to a fully-equipped ready-to-go industrial sewing operation in this vibrant recreational mecca. This asset sale offering includes the commercial building, specialized industrial sewing equipment, and a robust collection of tools, supporting a wide range of textile fabrication, from lightweight event banners to mid-weight sailmaking & upholstery to large heavyweight UAV covers & cases. The tools and the space are all here for immediate productivity. Organize the space to suit your changing needs: many of the work tables are on wheels; steel racks are movable, overhead lighting and natural light is plentiful.
This facility has been the home of Sailworks for 25 years, and the owners are retiring this fall. Our mainstay was making windsurfing sails, but from this workshop we also produced a multitude of other sewn products: industrial equipment covers, cases, bags and strap assemblies for the local UAV industry; shade sails; restaurant enclosures; custom upholstery; window coverings for RVs; event banners; custom bags; and a steady flow of heavy sewing repairs of all kinds.
The center of the workspace features a 24 ft CNC flatbed cutting system, with the required air compressor and vacuum blowers housed outside the building, keeping the work area quiet. An 8-roll fabric rack on wheels stands at one end, and a computer workstation sits at the other. A large fixed L-shaped table is enlarged by rolling moveable job tables alongside. Table surface totals 1,000 ft², plus one or two levels of lower deck shelving. Under-table forced air blowers float large work-pieces over the tables for easier maneuvering.
