Our story
Industrial heritage, modern technology.
Founded in the 1980's by Nessim Schinasi, SITM was created to serve the growing fleet of Karl Mayer warp knitting, Raschel and Tricot machines installed across Europe.
Today, our workshop combines mechanical refurbishment, electronic retrofit and a worldwide spare parts supply chain — all under one roof, all under SITM standards.
