About us
We have years of experience of RnD for 3D knitting programs and knitting machines, as well as knitting design and training. So, we hope to give you the best service available within this industry.
From the Roots of Craftsmanship
Founded in 2018 in Sykkylven, Norway, our company produces 3D-knitted products using advanced knitting machines from Shima Seiki, Japan. The company is owned and developed by, among others, Amatec and stakeholders such as Ekornes and Flakk Group. In Sunnmøre, there is a long tradition of producing both clothing and furniture, with experience and knowledge of textiles and automation passed down through generations.
Our Commitment to Sustainable Textile Solutions
We have 3D knitting machines, a design system, and additional equipment for automatic yarn winding on cones, as well as equipment for steaming and more. We can produce items with varying knitting densities, from finer textiles with 4-gauge to coarser knits with 15-gauge, using both synthetic and natural fibers, including Norwegian wool. Our commitment to sustainable production has earned us support from Innovation Norway, Sparebanken Møre, and Siva through Nordveggen Business Garden.
