Leading flat knitting solutions provider SHIMA SEIKI MFG., LTD. of Wakayama, Japan, in cooperation with its Peruvian sales representative STT PERU INNOVA S.R.L., will exhibit at the upcoming Expotextil Perú 2026 show in Lima, Peru next month.
SHIMA SEIKI will be promoting its innovative knitting technology to the Peruvian market with its SVR®123SP computerized flat knitting machine. Featuring a loop presser bed mounted above the rear needle bed SVR®123SP is capable of inlay technique for producing unique, value-added hybrid knit-weave fabrics. The machine also features such SHIMA SEIKI innovations as DSCS® Digital Stitch Control System, Rapid Response R2CARRIAGE® system, spring-type moveable sinker system, stitch presser, yarn gripper and cutter and takedown comb. Made-in-Japan quality, reliability, productivity, user-friendliness and cost-performance all combine to satisfy the high expectations not only of the world's fashion industry but also of various fields such as industrial materials. SVR®123SP at Expotextil Perú furthermore features the i-Plating® option, capable of alternating yarn colors in any pattern, producing jacquard-like designs using thin and lightweight plain jersey stitch. Plating can be performed within the same course and for individual needles for even greater diversity in knit design.
In addition to machine technology, presentations will be made on SDS® KnitPaint-Online knit software, the proven software used by knitting companies across the globe to create knitting data for programming SHIMA SEIKI computerized flat knitting machines. Previously available only as part of SHIMA SEIKI's SDS®-ONE APEX series all-in-one design system, with SDS® KnitPaint-Online, KnitPaint software becomes available as standalone software that carries over the same familiar KnitPaint functions, but enhanced with basic planning and design functionality as well.

Meanwhile SHIMA SEIKI’s SDS®-ONE APEX series 3D design system and APEXFiz® design software feature ultra-realistic knit simulation for creating virtual samples.
