The year 2018 represents a significant milestone for Smit which celebrates 80 years after the foundation in 1938.

The machine name has been given after the 80th anniversary of Smit which was founded in Italy and soon turned out to be an estimated leading manufacturer of weaving machines.

“Smit GS980 will bring more value to our customers and the best ratio between productivity versus running costs,” said Simone Rancan, Smit CEO. “At our booth we will be weaving denim, curtains and our famous high-quality terry towel fabric. The quality of the fabric produced with our machines has always been a reference for the market and with the new Smit GS980 we will surely continue to exploit this advantage. The general trend of moving towards productions of higher quality fabrics is already happening and some of our customers at the moment are exploiting some market niches where they can find more profitability: in these circumstances our new Smit GS980 is the right technology for forward momentum.”
