Fast Marketing Group Cooperates With Island Fine Machinery To Develop More Hi-Tech Fabrics.

Fast Retailing announced recently that it has signed an agreement with the Shima Seiki Mfg to strengthen strategic cooperation between them and "accelerate the comprehensive development and technological innovation of both sides in the field of knitted products".

According to Xun, the deal will help the group achieve the goal of "mass production on demand" and enable the group to have more choices in hi-tech fabrics.

The cooperation plans include:

Use Innovation Factory's expertise to expand the scale of production in Asia and improve production efficiency.

Developing new products and mass production processes, enabling customers to directly connect with factories, and developing on-demand batch production systems.

Although no further details were released, it was revealed that it hoped to develop innovative knitted garments focused on WholeGarment (Quan Chengxing) products, providing new value and promoting sales growth.

By the first 9 months of May 31st this year, fast sales increased by 15.3% to 1 trillion and 700 billion yen, of which the sales of UNIQLO reached 1 trillion and 420 billion yen.

In October 2016, in order to jointly develop knitted products, XXX jointly invested 400 million yen with the island fine machinery manufacturing company to set up a joint venture Innovation Factory, aiming at establishing a new production system for flexible application of knitting production technology, and developing revolutionary batch production technology for WholeGarment related products.

Among them, the island essence mechanism shares 51%, and fast sells shares 49%.

Usually, knitted sweater is made up of stitched parts.

The Wholegarment patent technology developed by the island fine arts allows the knitting machine to have one dimensional woven single piece.

Wholegarment is characterized by no need for tailoring, sewing and other follow-up work, without any waste.

At the same time, because there is no suture, clothing can better fit the body curve and enhance the sense of comfort.

Fast marketing is a tireless pursuit of "black" science and technology fabrics. HEATTECH self heating fabric, which is co operated with Dongli, has become one of the main fabrics of UNIQLO autumn and winter series.

Last autumn, fast marketing launched HEATTECH seamless for the first time.

In addition, Morocco nut oil moisturizer is added to HEATTECH Extra Warm and Ultra Warm products to provide more comfortable wearing experience.

In 2017, UNIQLO announced the new knitting technology: 3D U-Knit in New York's 2017 autumn and winter exhibition.
