The transfer has been made by Santoni to concentrate and further develop its core business of circular knitting. The technology provider has been active in seamless warp knitting since 2004. The company developed its own range of compact machines for the application of seamless garments, medical- and lately shoe-fabrics. They hold a number of patents for machines as well as textile technology.
Karl Mayer will integrate the SWD technology into its Double Needle Bar competence centre at Japan-based Nippon Mayer and extend the relevant product range.
