Technosport, a leading Indian activewear brand, successfully hosted an Open House event at its Perundurai megafactory, in collaboration with KARL MAYER and A.T.E.. This event marked Technosport’s investment in cutting-edge HKS-3M Tricot warp knitting machines, reinforcing its commitment to high-quality, sustainable activewear.
Technosport is the first brand in South India to integrate tricot machines for sportswear production. Over 100 industry experts from Tirupur, Erode, Coimbatore, and beyond attended the event.
Attendees experienced live demonstrations of three HKS 3M machines, paired with a DS-Warper, showcasing warp-knitted fabric production for activewear. Key industry experts, including Mr. Navin Agrawal (A.T.E.), Mr. Mark Smith (KARL MAYER), and Mr. Franseska Guth, delivered insightful presentations on warp knitting technology and exhibited fabric samples and finished garments.
The event culminated in a dynamic machine demonstration, with all three units running at speeds up to 2800 rpm, efficiently producing high-performance sportswear fabrics.
Speaking on the partnership, Mr. Sunil Jhunjhunwala, Co-founder of Technosport, stated:
“We are proud to bring KARL MAYER’s advanced technology to India. As demand for synthetic fabrics grows in both domestic and international markets, warp knitting technology will gain momentum. By collaborating with A.T.E. and KARL MAYER, we aim to drive further interest in this innovation.”
This collaboration led to the launch of Technosport’s DuraCool+ warp-knitting technology, enabling the production of all-day pants that merge the durability of woven trousers with the comfort of knitwear.
Mr. Mark Smith, Deputy Vice President of KARL MAYER, expressed gratitude:
“We sincerely appreciate Mr. Sunil Jhunjhunwala and the Technosport team for their invaluable support. A special thanks to the A.T.E. Coimbatore team for their dedication in organizing this impactful event. We look forward to hosting more such events to expand warp knitting technology in India.”
With a focus on innovation and sustainability, Technosport is set to redefine activewear standards globally. The brand continues to expand its market presence and product range, making high-quality sportswear accessible and inspiring an active lifestyle for all.
