Italy’s knitting machine builders feature heavily in the news this week with Brescia as the source.

This morning sock knitting machine builder Busi Giovanni announced it has expanded the applications of its Idea Twin Layer machine with the production of a sock called Thermo-Twin which is said to offer the wearer high levels of thermal insulation and comfort.

“Thanks to the consistent quantity of air trapped between the two layers and the obtained micro-cushions, such sock guarantees an extremely high thermal insulation, what makes it absolutely perfect for any outdoor purposes,” Busi explained. See Thermo-Twin technology from Busi for the full story.

Santoni Group

Meanwhile leading Italian knitting machine producer Santoni Group reports it will be showing a wide range of machines for the production of knitwear, socks and seamlesswear at this year’s Inlegmash in Moscow. Machines on show will include models from the group’s Sangiacomo socks knitting machines and Mec-Mor open panel circular knitting machines, as well as its leading Santoni brand circular knitting machines for seamless garments.
