From a commemorative standpoint, ITMA 2011 held significance for Shima Seiki as well. It was the company's 10th ITMA in which to participate. 2011 also marks its 50th year in business. The past 50 years has certainly been fruitful for Shima Seiki, having contributed major paradigm-changing advancements to the flat knitting industry. However, for Shima Seiki ITMA was not an occasion for celebrating the past but an opportunity to establish, once and for all, its position as leading innovator and provide customers with the confidence and peace of mind that Shima can be depended upon for the next 50 years.

Despite current economic conditions the enthusiasm expressed by customers toward new technology and the resulting inquiries helped renew faith in the future of the knitting industry in Europe, its outlying regions and other markets. It was part of Shima Seiki's aim at ITMA to restore customer confidence in the future of knitting with a show of commitment to future progress. According to Shima Seiki's results, that aim seems to have been met with great success.

SHIMA SEIKI MFG., LTD. of Wakayama, Japan is a leading manufacturer in the computerized flatbed knitting machine industry.
