Shanghai - Flat knitting machine builder Stoll has officially opened its new Knitting Training Center in Shanghai, China.

The Stoll Knitting Training Center is an educational platform created by a joint venture between the Shanghai International Fashion Education Center (SIFEC), Stoll/Chemtax and Shanghai SANDA University (SANDA).

The new centre is dedicated to training knitting design talents in ‘art + technology’ while also exploring the educational mode of combining production, learning and research.

"In the future, Stoll Knitting Training Center will provide training to teachers, designers and technicians from the knitting industry with a goal of knitting knowledge transfer."
