The company offers men’s women’s, fashion and sport socks, which all start with the company’s R&D team to meet customer requirements in terms of raw materials, functionality, and design. K V Manufacturing offers various selections of materials including cotton, nylon, cashmere, etc.
Knitting
At the factory, skilled technicians monitor the latest technology automatic link machines. The technicians are not only responsible for maintenance but also involved in quality excellence and efficiency.
