UK based circular knitting machine dealer Warner Textile Machinery Ltd is seeking good quality used circular knitting machines to meet current strong demand from customers around the world.

Warner Textile Machinery is a family run business established in the 1960's, which specialises in machinery for the circular knitting industry. The company's knowledge of used machinery from all of the leading machinery manufacturers is considerable and it has many contacts in all parts of the world, allowing it to understand customers' specific needs and source exactly the right equipment for the work each customer does.

Demand outstripping supply

Warner Textile Machinery carries a large stock of used machines at its Leicester, United Kingdom warehouse but recently demand has been outstripping supply for good quality used circular knitting machines from the leading machines builders such as Mayer & Cie., Monarch and Orizio.

Managing Director, Neil Warner explains:

"I have in the past been able to source good used equipment from out of either the UK or Europe but recently these sources have started to dry up. Maybe this is because we have exhausted them and also because there has been a big shift of new machines being sold to Asia where the demand has been, leaving used equipment in the West in short supply."

" I think there must still be mills around who we are not in contact with who have machines to sell or are in a position where they are possibly looking to close but need to sell the plants in one lot," Mr Warner adds.
