Boyteks Buys Warp Knitter for New Upholstery Collection
August 5, 2013
BURSA, Turkey — Boyteks, a member company within the Boydak Group of Turkey, has launched apparel driven technology in its latest fabric collection to be introduced at MoOD.
The technique used is called ‘warp knitting’. It is a technique that zigzags over the length of the woven fabric and is somewhere halfway between knitting and weaving. Warp knitting is normally used in the production of fashion fabrics and mainly for lingerie. The process is only rarely used for upholstery but is quite common in the mattress ticking business.
Boyteks invested in the purchase of a warp knitting machine in order to produce the new line. In addition, Boyteks will also present a classic jacquard collection at MoOD.
