Stoll, a leading flat knitting machine specialist of the Karl Mayer Group, showcased its latest trend collection, Nocturno, at this year's PittiFilati. Collaborating with yarn manufacturer IafilIndustriaAmbrosianaFilati SpA, Stoll also presented innovations from Stoll Italia. Their digital software, the Create family, was available for demonstrations upon request.
In addition to exhibiting, Stoll co-led the "Training Days" project with three other companies, aiming to enhance professional development for industry operators. This initiative, organized by Stoll Italia, highlighted sustainability—a key future-focused topic in the knitting sector—attracting significant interest, particularly among young professionals.
Jorg Hartmann, Head of Fashion & Technology at Stoll, reported over 200 visitors to their stand, including existing and potential customers. He noted the numerous technical discussions on new developments and upcoming projects, leading to planned follow-up appointments and new business opportunities.
Hartmann emphasized the importance of their presence amid growing competition, with rivals like Shima Seiki and a new Chinese manufacturer showcasing their innovations. He also observed an increasing demand for fine gauge patterns, with Stoll's E20 fine knitting machine receiving notable attention.
Stoll's successful participation at PittiFilati not only strengthened customer relationships but also provided valuable insights into market trends and customer needs.
