Shima Seiki Mfg., Ltd

SHIMA SEIKI is a leading textile machinery manufacturer and solutions provider dedicated to delivering a digitally optimized value chain for the fashion industry. Known for its innovative fashion technology, SHIMA SEIKI is particularly famous as pioneer of WHOLEGARMENT knitting technology wherein a garment can be produced three-dimensionally in one entire piece without the need for sewing. Using only the minimum amount of yarn required to knit a single garment, WHOLEGARMENT quickly became the benchmark for sustainable textile production. SHIMA SEIKI is also known for its fashion tech solutions especially in the realism achieved through its virtual sampling technology. Based on actual yarn data, fabric simulations generated on its SDS-ONE APEX series design software can be used effectively as digital prototypes, replacing physical sampling and consequently reducing time, cost and material that otherwise go to waste. Virtual samples can furthermore be used in e-commerce to gauge consumer demand before production begins. Feeding that information back to the factory, production can be adjusted to optimize retail inventory and minimize leftover waste. In such a way, SHIMA SEIKI provides smart, speedy and sustainable solutions for the future of the textile industry.*Sorry, we do not reply to Comments or DMs.
