The fabric knitting process involves the knitting and conversion of yarn to fabric. The first stage of fabric manufacturing, fabric knitting, or more specifically weft knitting, is a specialized area of textile production that is an Ocean Lanka forte. Our dedicated knitting section is equipped with approximately 200 knitting machines drawing on the highest, and most modern, standard of knitting technology available in the industry.

We, also, operate Auto Stripe Machines and Flat Knitting Machines in our production effort.
