Shima Seiki Mfg., Ltd., the Japanese leader in computerized knitting technology and digital design solutions, is set to present its latest innovations at the Intertextile Shanghai Apparel Fabrics – Autumn Edition 2025, taking place from 2–4 September at the National Exhibition and Convention Center in Shanghai. The company will exhibit together with its Hong Kong and Chinese subsidiaries in the Digital Solutions Zone, a hub dedicated to cutting-edge advancements in textile and apparel technology.

A major highlight of Shima Seiki’s exhibit will be APEXFiz®, its subscription-based design software that enables seamless digital workflows across the fashion industry. APEXFiz® offers a comprehensive range of tools, including planning, design, color evaluation, fabric simulation, and 3D virtual sampling. By creating highly realistic digital prototypes, the software minimizes the need for physical sampling, helping brands reduce costs, speed up product development, and significantly cut down on material waste.

In addition to software, Shima Seiki will showcase its suite of Shima Online Services, which includes yarnbank®, a digital yarn sourcing platform where users can access downloadable yarn data, and SHIMA Datamall, an online content service that supports product planning and production processes. Both platforms are designed to streamline digital workflows while encouraging more sustainable industry practices.

The company will also host a seminar titled “New Era of Digital Fabric: End-to-End DPC Solution” on 3 September, providing deeper insight into its digital strategy. With these initiatives, Shima Seiki underscores its commitment to driving innovation, efficiency, and sustainability in global fashion manufacturing.
