A New Technological Leap in Türkiye’s Knitting Industry
ITM 2026 International Textile Machinery Exhibition, to be held on 9–13 June, will serve as an important platform to closely examine JINGMEI’s next-generation machines developed for the Turkish market. Two different JINGMEI open-width interlock machines, to be exhibited at Teksel Tekstil A.Ş.’s stand in Hall 3, Booth 305, and Santoni Group’s stand in Hall 3, Booth 314, will be presented to visitors with their advanced technological features and diverse production capabilities.
One of the machines to be showcased is a specially designed interlock machine developed for 5-yarn fabric production, which has been closely followed by the Turkish textile industry for some time. The fact that the machines on display have already been selected through investment decisions by manufacturers also demonstrates the strong confidence in JINGMEI technologies.
The collaboration between Teksel Tekstil A.Ş. and JINGMEI, operating under the Santoni China Group, contributes to the ongoing transformation of Türkiye’s knitting sector in areas such as technical textiles, functional fabrics, and high value-added production. In particular, investments in interlock fabric types have been accelerating in line with expectations for higher efficiency and quality.
Teksel Tekstil A.Ş. acts as the official representative of the JINGMEI brand in Türkiye under the Santoni China Group. Santoni China Group aims to deliver a more efficient, transparent, and sustainable textile production model by integrating advanced engineering solutions, smart manufacturing systems, and digital infrastructure. The group includes brands such as Santoni, Terrot, Pilotelli, Jingmei, and SMC/Qiguan, as well as several other specialized companies. This structure represents a broad portfolio of circular knitting technologies and a unified global innovation approach.
JINGMEI circular knitting machines have become a leading brand particularly in markets such as the Far East, Asia, and South America. With its advanced production infrastructure, high-precision technological equipment, and experienced technical team, the brand stands out not only for its mechanical and jacquard machine technologies but also for its strong after-sales service approach.
Santoni Group’s long-established engineering expertise and innovation-driven approach, combined with Teksel Tekstil A.Ş.’s nearly 40 years of field experience, make a significant contribution to the development of the JINGMEI brand in Türkiye. In particular, the solutions developed in open-width interlock machines and the accurate analysis of user expectations create new opportunities for the production of specialized fabrics.
The JINGMEI open-width interlock machines developed specifically for the Turkish market are designed for high-performance production of fine interlock fabrics, Punto Di Roma, Panda, Double Face, Scuba, and special 5-yarn fabric constructions. The first group of JINGMEI open-width rib and interlock machines introduced with the new design in Türkiye has quickly delivered successful production results and attracted the attention of industry professionals.
Teksel Tekstil A.Ş. aims to connect Türkiye’s knitting industry with the production technologies of the future and continue offering its customers long-term technology partnerships.
