Industry & Occupation
Classification
Summary
A manufacturing job on the volleyball production line, handling everything from material cutting to sewing, molding, air pressure adjustment, and quality inspection.
Description
Volleyball manufacturing workers cut synthetic leather and rubber, the raw materials for volleyballs, in factories or specialized workshops, then sew and glue them to create the outer cover (cover) and combine it with the inner bladder (bladder). They inject air into the inner bladder using air pressure adjustment equipment, shape it to the appropriate hardness and form, and then inspect the seams, surface finish, and presence of air leaks. In production lines, they monitor automatic sewing machines, perform final manual inspections, handle setup changes, and maintain machines. They may also be involved in quality control and process improvements.
Future Outlook
While domestic and international demand for competition volleyballs remains stable, there is a shift overseas to reduce manufacturing costs. Demand for specialized technicians capable of handling high-quality, high-value-added products, automation technology, and environmentally friendly materials is expected to continue.
