Stoll to help drive future of smart textile manufacturing

10/01/2018
Advanced knitting machine manufacturer Stoll has agreed a strategic collaboration with Canadian textile computing company Myant Inc. which will see it provide 500 state-of-the-art knitting machines for use in textile manufacturing in Canada and the US.

The partners have said they will work together to have a “direct and powerful impact” on the global textile industry and to set a new standard for functional computing textiles. 

“Our collaboration with Myant represents a completely new approach to smart textiles,” explained Andreas Schellhamme, CEO of Stoll. “The demand for smart fabrics has never been higher as companies race to create garments, wearables, industrial, defence, healthcare and household items to connect humans to the Internet of Things.”

The collaboration coincides with Myant’s plans to expand into Canadian and US university-affiliated textile technology centres, many of which feature Stoll machines. It aims to stimulate the development of new disciplines, curricula and expertise related to the design, engineering and manufacturing of smart textiles.
