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.
