Santoni and Karl Mayer have reached an agreement under which Santoni transfers its SWD technology to Nippon Mayer which takes over the complete range of products, the relevant manufacturing equipment as well as the entire stock of machines and spare parts.
The aftersales service for the installed base of machines was taken over by Nippon Mayer effective June 1.
Santoni, a leading supplier of seamless circular knitting technology, has been active in seamless warp knitting since 2004. The company developed its own range of compact machines for application of seamless garments, medical and lately shoe fabrics. With a number of patents for machine as well as textile technology, Santoni will concentrate on and further develop its core business circular knitting.
Karl Mayer, a leader in warp knitting technology, will integrate the SWD technology into its double needle bar competence center at Nippon Mayer (Fukui, Japan) and extend the relevant product range.
