Since 1946, Lonati S.p.A. has been the global benchmark in the production of circular knitting machines for hosiery.
With a history built on innovation, quality, and cutting-edge technology, Lonati has set the standards of the industry, and continues to do so, with a range of premium solutions dedicated to the most efficient manufacturers in the global market.
Today, alongside the historic Lonati brand, the Group expands its offering with LonaKnit, a brand developed and produced by Lonati Zhejiang, created to meet different market demands.
This strategic choice allows the Lonati Group to cover every market segment in the hosiery sector in a complete and balanced way.
At Lonati, we focus on manufacturers seeking maximum performance, reliability, and precision, the hallmarks that have always defined our brand.
Our product portfolio reflects a commitment to continuous technological research, which has led to the development of exclusive models designed for high, value-added production.
The Unlimitex digital platform represents the latest evolution of our technology and marks the industry’s transition into a new digital era.
Comprising the Orion and Arcadia software, the suite enables a fully integrated and comprehensive management of the production process:
- Orion: advanced virtual programming and real-time realistic garment simulation;
- Arcadia: complete control and optimization of the entire machine room, with continuous monitoring of production performance.
Through this integration, Unlimitex introduces an unprecedented level of efficiency, precision, and interconnection, projecting Lonati machines into a new production paradigm.
The Unlimitex suite will be available exclusively for Lonati machines, reaffirming the brand’s role as a technological benchmark and innovation leader in the industry.
Beyond advanced technical solutions, Lonati stands out for the quality of its service: comprehensive support that includes installation, training (both in Italy and on-site), specialized technical assistance, and ongoing updates to ensure maximum operational efficiency over time.
Our goal is to build strong, long-lasting partnerships, guiding our clients through growth and technological evolution with a consultative, long-term approach.
LonaKnit is designed for market segments focused on essential production and competitive volumes, aligned with the offerings of leading Chinese competitors.
Production is handled by Lonati Zhejiang, which operates with an optimized industrial model to ensure a highly competitive quality-to-price ratio.
LonaKnit machines are characterized by reliability, simplicity, and functionality, making them the ideal choice for those seeking an efficient and cost-effective solution to compete in the value-driven segment.
