The main business of the company, at the start, was parts manufacturing and repair works for textile machinery.

• In the decade of 50ties SCLAVOS started producing the first fabric dyeing winches.

• In the decade of 60ties SCLAVOS specialized in manufacturing stainless steel modern winches mainly for knitted fabrics.

• In the decade of 70ties and 80ties SCLAVOS developed their first low liquor ratio dyeing machines.

• By the mid 80ties SCLAVOS starts its first exports to Europe.

• By the end of 80ties exports are expanding gradually to the Americas and Asia.

• In 1995 SCLAVOS developed and launched a revolutionary continuous washing system under the name Aquachron, and which incorporated in the new Venus machine.

• In the decade of 2000 SCLAVOS developed further the above patented systems, which along with further newly developed unique systems were incorporated in a new series of machines by the name Athena series for dyeing of knits and terry towel fabrics. Athena model has had a tremendous success in more than 35 countries worldwide.
