OBERTSHAUSEN, Germany – Santoni and Karl Mayer agreed on May 30 that Santoni will transfer its SWD technology to Nippon Mayer, Karl Mayer’s Japan-based operation.

 

Nippon Mayer will take over the complete range of products, relevant manufacturing equipment and the entire stock of machines and spare parts.

 

The after-sales service for the installed base of machines was taken over by Nippon Mayer, effective today.

 

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 the application of seamless garments, medical and recently shoe fabrics. They hold a number of patents for machine and textile technology. Santoni will concentrate on and further develop its core business of circular knitting.

 

Karl Mayer, a leader in warp knitting equipment, will integrate the SWD technology into its Double Needle Bar competence center at Nippon Mayer in Fukui, Japan and extend the relevant product range.
