FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASESHIMA SEIKI to Exhibit at DTG 2024
Leading computerized flat knitting solutions provider SHIMA SEIKI MFG., LTD. of Wakayama,
Japan is exhibiting at the 18th Dhaka International Textile & Garment Machinery Exhibition (DTG2024) in Dhaka, Bangladesh, in cooperation with its partner Pacific Associates Ltd. Operating inBangladesh since 1996, this is the fourteenth time the Japanese manufacturer is participating inDTG.
As the Bangladeshi textile industry calls for sustainable production through innovation anddigitalization, the market is keen to establish effective business models that support suchproduction. In response, for the first time in its DTG exhibition history, SHIMA SEIKI's lineup
consists entirely of WHOLEGARMENT® knitting machines. Capable of knitting an entire garment in
one piece without the need for linking or sewing while using only the material required to knit one
garment at a time, WHOLEGARMENT® knitting is famous for promoting sustainability in the knit factory.
The company is showing its MACH2®XS153 WHOLEGARMENT® knitting machine in 15L gauge, aswell as its SWG®091N2 "Mini" WHOLEGARMENT® knitting machine in 15 gauge. MACH2®XS features
4 needle beds and SHIMA SEIKI's original SlideNeedle™, capable of producing high-quality finegauge WHOLEGARMENT® knitwear in all needles. SWG®091N2 provides opportunities inWHOLEGARMENT® knitting across a wide range of items in a compact, economical package. Adifferent approach to WHOLEGARMENT knitting is also shown in the form of the N.SVR®183machine. SHIMA SEIKI's global standard in shaped knitting, the N.SVR® series now features amodel for producing WHOLEGARMENT® knitwear using every other needle in fine gauge. Shown in 18gauge at DTG, N.SVR®183 is the ideal machine for flexible, entry-level WHOLEGARMENT® production,with the versatility to respond to fluctuating market demand.
Demonstrations are performed on SHIMA SEIKI's SDS®-ONE APEX4 design system. At the coreof the company’s "Total Fashion System" concept, it provides comprehensive support throughout
the supply chain, integrating production into one smooth and efficient workflow from yarn
development, product planning and design, to machine programming, production and even salespromotion. Especially effective is the way SDS®-ONE APEX4 improves on the product planningand design evaluation process by replacing physical samples with digital prototypes. Based on
photo-realistic simulations, these virtual samples minimize the need for actual sample-making,realizing significant savings in time, cost and material. In combination with WHOLEGARMENT®
knitting machines, virtual sampling realizes a sustainable planning and production base.
