TechnoSport, a leading Indian activewear brand, has introduced high-performance warp knitting technology at its newly opened mega factory in Perundurai. The company has invested in state-of-the-art HKS 3-M tricot machines from Karl Mayer, further enhancing its capacity to produce high-quality, sustainable, and affordable sportswear.

TechnoSport has successfully launched its DuraCool+ product line using the HKS 3-M machines and building on this success, the brand plans to introduce all-day pants that combine the durability of woven trousers with the comfort and flexibility of knits. This initiative aligns with TechnoSport's commitment to offering premium sportswear while prioritising sustainability and global market expansion.

To mark this significant step, TechnoSport, Karl Mayer, and A.T.E. jointly hosted an open house event at the Perundurai Mega Factory in mid-February 2025. The event attracted over 100 industry professionals from Tirupur, Erode, Coimbatore, and other regions, providing them with insights into the potential of warp knitting technology in activewear production.

Attendees witnessed live demonstrations of three HKS 3-M machines in action, producing specialised warp-knitted fabrics for sportswear. The machines operated at speeds of up to 2800 rpm, showcasing their efficiency and quality output. A DS-Warper was also on display, demonstrating the streamlined fabric preparation process. In addition to these demonstrations, expert speakers shared valuable knowledge. Navin Agrawal, Senior Vice President at A.T.E. Enterprises, opened the event, followed by Mark Smith, Deputy Vice President Sales at Karl Mayer, who presented the advantages of warp knitting technology. Product developer Franziska Guth and the A.T.E. sales team further engaged attendees with fabric samples and finished garments.

Reflecting on the event, TechnoSport co-founder Sunil Jhunjhunwala expressed his enthusiasm for the partnership: “We are very proud to partner with Karl Mayer and bring such technology to India. Given the growing demand for synthetic materials in both domestic and export markets, we expect interest in warp knitting technology to gain significant momentum in the next few years. By partnering with A.T.E. and Karl Mayer and hosting such events, we hope to further solidify that interest.”

Mark Smith echoed this sentiment, highlighting the importance of expanding warp knitting capabilities in India. He extended his gratitude to the TechnoSport team for their support in making the open house event a success and praised A.T.E. Coimbatore for their organisational efforts.

TechnoSport’s adoption of cutting-edge warp knitting technology underscores its ambition to set new standards in activewear manufacturing. As the company continues to expand its market reach, it remains committed to producing high-quality, innovative, and sustainable sportswear for all.
