THE CONTINUOUSLY EVOLVING
GLOVE KNITTING MACHINE
Following in the footsteps of the original SFG fully automatic seamless glove knitting machine, SHIMA SEIKI’s SFG-I is now the new global standard for fine and ultrafine gauge gloves, having inherited the know-how and experience accumulated over the years as the leading manufacturer of automatic glove knitting machines. SFG-I now features electronic programming, while carrying over proven SHIMA SEIKI technology such as our original sinker knitting system, stitch density control, and centralized lubrication. Made-in-Japan quality, reliability, productivity, and value also combine to satisfy the high expectations of the world's glove knitting industries. These quality production benefits, combined with the precision engineering required for fine gauge knitting, produce gloves with a natural and comfortable fit that is perfect for high-precision work, medical applications, and coated gloves. Very tight stitches between the fingers also make them suited for use as coated turn gloves as well.
