About Santoni

Created in 1919 Santoni is the very first Italian sock knitting machine manufacturer. In 1989 it became part of the Lonati Group, a Group that operates in sveral different sectors of activity, i.e, textile engineering, electronics, iron and steel manufacture, agriculture, financing, real estate, research and multi-utility and Instruction. In the last 20 years Santoni has developed a series of circular electronic "Seamlesswear" knitting machines becoming a worldwide leader in this technology. 'Seamless' machines are a revolution in the world of textile machinery. Their use was initially limited to the production of underwear, but then they have evolved into the production of sportswear, beachwear, medicalwear, knitwear, sweaters and other types of outerwear apparel. Thus Santoni began focusing mainly on seamless machine production including models which offered more flexibility in designing patterns and colours.
