JUKI SEWING MACHINE: ONE OF THE MOST RELIABLE BRANDS IN THE INDUSTRY
WHO MAKES JUKI SEWING MACHINES?
After World War II, the US helped to reestablish Japanese economic security, partly by giving support to manufacturers. Many sewing machines made between the 1940s and 1960s have been manufactured in Japan, even if the label doesn't indicate it. How do you know your sewing machine was made in Japan? There are several ways to find out:
1:A Japanese sewing machine probably carries a “Made in Japan” or “JA” stamp. Check the underside of the machine if you don’t see it upfront.
2:Japanese sewing machines produced at a time often came in different colors than US-made machines. So look for unique tints, like candy-colored appliances.
3:Although there is a wide array of possible manufacturers, on your vintage sewing machine, you may come across one of these labels:
uki Corporation,
Toyota Sewing Machines (active since 1946 and known for their durability—read on Aisin),
Maruzen Machine Company
Brother Industries, Ltd., Brother sewing machine,
Janome sewing machine,
Koyo Sewing Machine Company,
Happy Industrial Corp.;
