Did not see any mention of ZSK machines...... Built in Germany - enough said!! By far the #1 machine in Europe and are now concentrating a lot of their efforts in the US!! Very durable!! Very, very low thread breaks. Very easy to work with!! High performance!! Superior software and controller!! Some real nice accessories to work with!! New innovative technology machine is work checking into!! Absolutely worth checking into before you buy another brand!! Do yourself a favor and spend the money on quality - ZSK !!
