LONATI excels in the world's markets, with an average of 8000 machines produced annually. The entire range is updated continually, resulting in new solutions produced by the research and development department, to address the requirements of fashion and market flexibility, which continually sets challenges that are not always easy to overcome, but which stimulate Lonati's ability for innovation. This is why after introducing the flipping dial closed-toe machines, now so well-established as to constitute the flagship machine in the Lonati range, research continued in search of new potential, for example, to use machines that had historically been designed to produce socks for the manufacture of fabric sports shoes. All standard models have also been upgraded, i.e. the 5 and 6 colour single-feed, double-feed, filet stitch, 3D and 4-feed sports hosiery machines, representing the largest range currently available on the market.
