Busi Giovanni offers new, more affordable sock machine

08/04/2013
Italian sock-knitting machine manufacturer Busi Giovanni has announced a new machine, the Light MP.

The Brescia-based company said the Light MP was “an optimised version” of its existing machine, the Idea MP, except that the new machine does not have latch needles in the dial and is therefore not suitable for making Busi’s True Rib socks.

Export manager, Michele Castagna, explained that the company’s idea in introducing the new product was to offer sock manufacturers a machine at “a much more competitive price”.
