30 years of technology, leads to our latest range of high tech machines.

Monarch Knitting Machinery UK Ltd was founded in Leicester, England in 1969 to provide a sales and service for precision Fukuhara works Kobe, Japan.

From the original 1969 XL Frame through the RX and FX Frames to the latest 1999 VX Frame, technological advances enable increased speeds, safety and machine efficiencies.

Monoblock camming introduced in 1976, revolutionised multi feed machines, due to the totally enclosed cam track ensuring exact control of the needles and total cam interchangeability.

1989 saw the introduction of inclined sinker motion 'Z' technology which again added to the potential of all basic M/C models due to the shared knitting action allowing slower can angles, increased speeds and exact loop formation.

The RDS (Rotary Drop Cam) system which was seen for the first time at ITMA 1995 in Milan, completely changed the flexibility and speed of change on the full range of double jersey machines.

Monarch remains the market leader on full electronic jacquard machinery, having over 16 years experience, since the launch into Europe of electronic selection at ITMA Milan 1983.

Monarch offers the largest range of single and double jersey striper machines, with more than 600 machines currently working in production.

The 1999 range of electronic jacquard machines offer unrivalled flexibility with the possibility of adding conversions to produce, true mesh, mock intarsia, double jersey loop and Lycra plated fabrics.

MKS (Monarch Design System) has been developed alongside the wide range of electronic jacquard machines and offers many unique features, including multi coloured jacquards.
