Background
PROTELA S.A. is a professional textile fabric manufacturer headquartered in Colombia with a 75-year legacy. Originally focused on knit fabric production, it has evolved through decades of development and technical accumulation into an integrated textile enterprise covering fabric R&D, design, weaving, dyeing, printing and functional finishing. Today, PROTELA serves Colombia’s domestic market while expanding across the Americas and international markets. It provides comprehensive solutions from fabric development to production for global apparel brands and manufacturers, holding long-term partnerships with world-famous brands such as Adidas and Leonisa. Its business covers diverse segments including lingerie, shapewear, swimwear, sportswear, casual wear, home textiles, industrial and automotive applications.​

Unlike conventional textile companies that primarily supply standard fabrics, PROTELA emphasizes R&D and differentiated innovation, delivering custom development services aligned with each brand’s product positioning and market trends. As production capacity expanded and product lines diversified, frequent handling and transfer of heavy A-frames became a bottleneck for in-plant logistics. In 2025, PROTELA entered an official partnership with SUNTECH and adopted Electric A-frame Tractors. This solution overcomes the challenge of transporting heavy fabric rolls mounted on A-frames within the workshop, significantly improving material flow efficiency and reducing heavy labor reliance.
Honored Customer Journey
PROTELA brings more than 75 years of expertise in textile manufacturing, operating fully integrated production lines for design, weaving, dyeing, printing and finishing. As capacity and quality requirements grew, inefficiencies and heavy manual workloads became obvious pain points. In early 2025, PROTELA contacted SUNTECH to solve in-plant logistics challenges with heavy fabric rolls and A-frames. SUNTECH’s technical team analyzed the workshop layout, floor conditions, load capacity and operator practices, then recommended a customized intelligent electric towing solution. The equipment was quickly integrated into PROTELA’s daily production after deployment. SUNTECH provides ongoing after-sales service and technical support to help PROTELA standardize and digitize its internal material handling.​

At SUNTECH, customer satisfaction and trust drive everything we do. To enhance customer experience, we offer an exclusive VIP service program that delivers comprehensive, attentive support to all partners. PROTELA stands as one of our key strategic clients in Latin America. This partnership resolved critical bottlenecks in workshop logistics and material flow, bringing tangible cost and efficiency gains. It also illustrates how advanced textile handling equipment empowers the transformation of traditional manufacturing. Going forward, SUNTECH will further deepen strategic cooperation with PROTELA to explore smarter logistics solutions and boost the client’s core market competitiveness.

SUNTECH Solutions to Help Out
Electric A-Frame Tractor Solutions
For A-frame handling in the workshop, the traditional method of multiple workers manually pushing and pulling heavy loads consumes significant labor and time, causing process bottlenecks and limiting overall production throughput. To solve PROTELA’s on-site handling challenges, SUNTECH provided a customized integrated Electric A-frame Tractor solution. Featuring powerful performance and user-friendly operation, the tractor comes with an industrial high-performance drive motor and flexible coupling mechanism, fully compatible with PROTELA’s existing heavy-duty A-frames. It converts multi-person heavy-load handling into a one-person task. The equipment enables precise coupling, smooth towing and stable parking of multi-ton fabric rolls between processes, greatly cutting logistics waiting time and speeding up the whole production line.​

While improving efficiency, SUNTECH integrates safety protection and green low-carbon design into every detail. With an ultra-compact structure, small turning radius, built-in stepless speed control and EPS system, it delivers accurate steering and instant stops even in narrow workshop aisles, fully safeguarding operators and high-value fabrics. In addition, its emission-free, low-noise full-electric drive eliminates noise and oil contamination from conventional handling equipment. It improves the working environment and matches PROTELA’s corporate vision of green and sustainable manufacturing.
