Despite enormous expectations placed upon China as the world's foremost garment production base, it has witnessed an economic slowdown due in no small part to increasing material cost, higher wages and shortage of labor. Consequently textile manufacturing within China and its neighbors in Southeast and Central Asia is currently undergoing careful re-evaluation.With a diverse array of innovative solutions, SHIMA SEIKI is always at the ready to support such challenging market conditions. Toward a New Era of Knitting, SHIMA SEIKI presents the next phase in industrial modernization; a must-see for visitors eager to discover what the future holds in store for knitting. True to the original ITMA tradition of launching brand new technology, a majority of the knitting machine models are first-time introductions at ITMA Asia + CITME. True to SHIMA SEIKI tradition, these machines represent technology that is unavailable elsewhere.
