Schlafhorst was a producer of textile machines in Mönichgladbach (Germany). Wilhelm Schlafhorst founded the company in the early 1880s. The company employed 5000 people in 1991. The company was then sold to the Swiss group Saurer, whereupon the decline began. In 2007, the Oerlikon group, also from Switzerland, took over the company, which at the time employed about 1000 people.
Local market in Antigua, Guatemala.
Textiles is perhaps Guatemala's best-known and most popular artisanal activity; It is also one of the most important export products in the country. The most popular fabrics are produced by indigenous women, creating intricate designs with multiple colors; but in general, typical fabrics are produced by both, women and men, women use the traditional back-strap loom with wooden sticks, while men use a big pedal loom to produce them.

One of the few remaining large textile machines still to be found at the place of their operation. Once dozens of such units oparated in every factory in Lodz - now they are few and far between. For this reason I am very satisfied to have found this beauty and make some shots of it (along with some of her girlfriends from the same location).
