KOTITI has signed a technology transfer agreement with a well known Italian textile machine manufacturing company, CAIPO. According to the agreement terms, CAIPO pays royalties on technology to KOTITI on the basis of gross sales. Commonly, textiles are composed of the same kinds of fibers which consist of basic structure and slub part, but patch yarn is composed of different kinds of fibers which comprised of basic structure and slub part. KOTITI developed the world’s first manufacturing patch yarn equipment in manufacturing staple fiber way. The spinning machine providing different roving to draft area can manufacture patch yarn continuously in single process. Previously, Swiss, Spain and Japan’s textile machine manufacturers have failed commercialization of manufacturing patch yarn way because of low productivity and bad appearance and touch of the yarn. CAIPO highly appreciated the new technology developed by KOTITI and expressed their hope for technology transfer. Through 2-year negotiation and additional technology development, both firms have entered into the technology transfer agreement. CAIPO was founded in 1963 in Biella which is traditional area of textile production. It is a well known special yarn machine manufacturer. It has provided about 5,000 special yarn producing machines worldwide and there are about 150 special yarn producing machines made by CAIPO in the country for 10 years. CAIPO-KOTITI COLOR+ will be displayed in ITMA 2011, which will be held in September 2011 in Barcelona, Spain. It is expected to gain royalties on technology and improve KOTITI’s profile as global research and analysis institute. Meanwhile, KOTITI transferring to new office building will be equipped with pilot facilities and activate R&D considering the practical producing process and promoting new technology and product.
