Leading Italian manufacturer of circular knitting machines for seamless garments, Santoni will be showcasing its latest machines and know-how at the upcoming Shanghaitex exhibition which runs from 10-13 June in Shanghai, China.

At this edition of Shanghaitex, the leading textile machinery show which takes place every two years, Brescia based company says its ‘garment and fabric samples will play a major role in passing Santoni’s Know-How in a concrete way’.

Santoni’s circular machines include four product-lines, which are:

• Seamless machine for sportswear and underwear
• Garment length and seamless machines for outerwear and knitwear (sweaters)
• Large diameter machines, both single and double cylinder in fine gauges for fabric manufacture
• Socks and pantyhose machines

At the Shanghaitex exhibition, the machines and samples will also be divided and shown in these four segments.

As a rule, there will be three types of sample for each segment, as Santoni’s Patrick Silva explains:

“The first type are textile products which are selling on the market - not only the China market but also the European and USA markets. These products will bring the real picture. Visitors may find some profitable opportunity through these garments.”

Silva continues: “Another type is samples made by Santoni. These samples may have not gone to bulk production, but they consistently contain Santoni’s know-how which has been accumulated through long knitting experience. Visitors will find with each sample that there are detailed explanations from the aspect of the technology and the design and will get a lot of useful information.”

Silva explains that Santoni’s target is to help garment manufacturers to produce the right product:  “This means that during the design stage, the designer should have a clear idea what the garment should be, especially for some functional garments. During production, the right yarn and right knitting method should be applied and at the same time, the efficiency and cost should be considered in the whole procedure.”

To help customers achieve good results, Santoni not only provides information during exhibitions, but additionally holds regular free training courses at its Shanghai factory.

Silva says that the third kind of samples is those produced on site. “Visitors can check the efficiency and quality stability of Santoni’s machines. At the same time, those people who are in charge of garment production can get a real picture what will happen if they invest in these knitting machines – and since ShanghaiTex is a big event, visitors can easily compare different brands,” he says.

Santoni says it confidently leads the market  in both real production and in new concepts because it’s the solid technology support provided by a wide cooperation with yarn suppliers and academic institutions, such as spandex manufacturers, nylon manufacturers, wool manufacturers, Beijing Institute of Fashion Technology, Donghua University and Guangdong Institute of Textile Technology, ‘make action of the whole group more close to the market needs’.
