Santoni and Lonati Are Heading to Moscow for the 2012 Edition of Techtextil

As presented on KnittingIndustry.com, the Italian circular knitting machine manufacturer - Santoni - and its sister company Lonati, the world's leading hosiery machinery manufacturer, are heading to Moscow this month. The two Brescia located companies will be exhibiting at technical textiles exhibition Techtextil Russia and textile machinery show Inlegmash, which are taking place at Moscow's Expocenter between March 12-14.

Santoni's Marketing Manager Patrick Silva, who is preparing for the Moscow trade show, mentioned that the company will be presenting its Seamless Technology, which “is an innovative concept in clothing - free of irritating side seams. This technology can directly produce almost finished products, and so reduces the production costs.” He also added that Santoni seamless garments are primarily made from a combination of microfiber yarns, elastane and cotton. Microfiber yarns are made up of fine filaments of nylon that produce the softest fabrics. Natural fibers give a smooth look and a soft touch, have reduced pilling and are used in bodysuits, lace, or in jacquard knits.

"This new seamless apparel has transformed the knitting industry and the overall worldwide production process. The technology is not only replacing traditional knitting but is also replacing anything stitched or with seams," Silva explained.

According to Patrick Silva, Seamless products are being used for a variety of applications as they offer numerous benefits to the user. The technology is forecast to continue growing and apart from current uses Silva says Santoni's smart seamless knitting technology is playing a prominent role in integrating electronics into materials as a result of its flexibility.
