What We Do

Although the “what” we do is specialized fabric warping and warp knitting, the “how” we do it sets us apart. Shawmut Infinite is in the middle of a multi-million-dollar transformation to retrofit our facility with an arsenal of the world’s most advanced digitally controlled knitting, warping, and fabric prototyping systems. When the upgrade is complete, Shawmut Infinite will be unrivalled for rapid iteration, development, and mass production of automotive interior and industrial warp knits. 

Rapid Digital Warp Knitting Design and Prototyping

Our digital warp-knitting technology will allow for rapid pattern development and prototyping through a digital control interface. real-time online sharing of new fabric designs with customer designers across the world, and once the preferred patterns are selected, we can load them instantly onto a knitting machine for sampling and digital production management.
