SHIMA SEIKIs knitting technology

Leading Japanese flat knitting technologist SHIMA SEIKI will show its latest lineup at ITMA Asia CITME 2014 exhibition. Through its exhibition theme "Breakthrough Technology", it will propose solutions for current needs of the knitting industries in China and Asia and beyond, while emphasising the importance of sustaining those industries for the future. SHIMA SEIKI is confident in its ability to live up to such a challenging proposal, by presenting its ITMA ASIA CITME 2014 exhibition lineup in 3 zones, catering to current needs (Breakthrough Zone), upgraded needs (WHOLEGARMENT® Zone) and diversified needs (Expansion Zone).

Breakthrough Zone

While the Breakthrough Zone caters to conventional shaped knitting, it nevertheless provides unprecedented proposals that break with flat knitting tradition.

WHOLEGARMENT® Zone

Because of their capability to produce an entire garment without the need for sewing or linking, WHOLEGARMENT® knitting machines realise quick response production with on-demand capability thanks to reduced lead times, and offer reduced dependence on labor as well as associated cost reductions.

Expansion Zone

The Expansion Zone consists of two new machines that cater to diversified market needs, both with great potential for growth in Asia. One is a knitting machine that borrows heavily on SHIMA SEIKIs unique experience with four-bed knitting, featuring a pair of loop presser beds mounted above a conventional V-shaped needle bed.
