Technosport leverages KARL MAYER tricot machines for active and sportswear production at its new megafactory.
Technosport, a leading Indian activewear brand, recently hosted a successful open house event at its Perundurai mega-facility in collaboration with Karl Mayer and A.T.E. TechnoSport is committed to delivering high-quality, accessible apparel while prioritising sustainability and global recognition. To further this mission and expand its market reach, Technosport has recently invested in cutting-edge Karl Mayer HKS-3M Tricot warp knitting machines.
Karl Mayer is proud to recognise Technosport as the first customer in South India to leverage tricot machines for active and sportswear production. Over 100 industry professionals from Tirupur, Erode, Coimbatore, and other regions attended the event
Attendees witnessed live demonstrations of three HKS 3M machines, coupled with a DS-Warper, showcasing the production of specialised warp-knitted fabrics for active and sportswear. The event featured a welcome address by Navin Agrawal from A.T.E., followed by an insightful presentation on warp knitting technology by Mark Smith. Franseska Guth and the A.T.E. sales team further engaged the audience with displays of warp-knitted fabric samples and finished garments.
The open house culminated in a dynamic demonstration of all three machines operating at speeds up to 2800, producing fabrics for activewear.
Talking about the significance of the event, Sunil Jhunjhunwala, Co-founder of Technosport commented, “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.â€
This strategic partnership with Karl Mayer Germany has enabled Technosport to launch its innovative ‘DuraCool+’ warp-knitting technology, utilising Karl Mayer HKS-3M machines. Building on this advancement, Technosport plans to introduce versatile, functional, and durable all-day pants, combining the robustness of woven trousers with the comfort and flexibility of knitwear.
Mark Smith, Deputy Vice President of Karl Mayer stated, “We extend our sincere appreciation to Sunil Jhunjhunwala and the entire Technosport team for their invaluable support in making this Open House a resounding success. We also commend the A.T.E. Coimbatore team for their dedicated efforts in organising and executing this impactful event. We hope to conduct more such events in the future to expand warp knitting capabilities in Indiaâ€
By embracing cutting-edge technology and focusing on sustainability, Technosport is poised to redefine the standards of activewear globally.
