Swiss flat knitting machines builder Steiger is coming to the aid of its European customers who are struggling to reduce costs and remain competitive in today’s difficult economic environment.

The Cixing owned Vionnaz headquartered company is introducing the Steiger STG 3.132 MC, an economical, high-performance machine that is made in its China factory, to enable customers to continue to knit quality garments in Europe.

“The STG 3.312 MC produced in our factory in China was intended for the local market. Today, we also offer it for sale in Europe. We adapt it to the specific needs of the European market in our Swiss factory,” Steiger says.

“This compact 130 cm machine, equipped with 16 motorised wire guides with sinker and Steiger take-down, is a great success that combines exceptional performance at a reasonable price.”
