Busi Giovanni, the Italian socks knitting machine builder has launched two new medical hosiery knitting machines for large sized medical hosiery. The new medical pantyhose (needle counts from 226 to 366) and the medical terry pantyhose (needle counts from 226 to 280) machines enable the production of large socks and pantyhose. Busi will expand its production capacity as demand grows for its medical range of compression hosiery knitting machines and other products.

Currently Busi has the capacity to produce around 200 machines per year and plans to make over 250 machines this year. Busi machines present the possibility of knitting in true rib. The terry version presents the possibility of knitting sandwich terry.

Since 1958, Busi has specialised in design and construction of single-cylinder machines with rib needles in the dial for the production of high-quality stockings, socks and tights, which cover classic, patterned, sports, technical as well as medical, with special solutions for graduated compression.

The company sells in more than 50 countries around the world. It plans to outsource the manufacture of certain components from companies who are known for their expertise and quality production. The final machine assembly and testing will take place in Busi’s own factory.
