Active Clothing Knits Smart Future for India

Active Clothing, a leading Indian "design-to-shelf" platform for flat-knitted and circular-knitted apparel, has entered into a long-term strategic partnership with Ningbo Cixing—China’s and the world’s largest manufacturer of computerised flat knitting machines.

This collaboration will establish India’s first “KNIT TO SHAPE” Smart Knitting Factory, a next-generation facility designed to integrate advanced automation, precision engineering, and zero-waste technologies. The initiative represents a significant leap toward modernising and digitising India’s knitwear manufacturing sector.

Leveraging Ningbo Cixing’s state-of-the-art 3D seamless knitting and intelligent design systems, the new facility will enable Active Clothing to deliver high-quality, customisable garments with greater efficiency and minimal material waste.

Key highlights of the upcoming Smart Factory include:

3D seamless knitting technology for enhanced garment durability, comfort, and design flexibility

Automation-driven production systems to ensure high precision, consistency, and scalability

Zero-waste manufacturing processes aligned with sustainability and circular economy principles

This strategic move underscores Active Clothing’s commitment to innovation and sustainability, positioning it at the forefront of future-ready apparel manufacturing in India.
