The Fastest Knitting Machine, Worldwide.

WORLD CLASS SPEED, WORLD CLASS QUALITY

Since 1916 Vanguard has perfected the production of circular knitting machines in America. Over the last 100 years, we’ve applied our knowledge towards building better, faster knitting machines. Vanguard offers a complete line of knitting machines ranging from 4” to 36” in diameter, all with jersey, rib and fleece capabilities. Through innovation and research, our machines use the highest quality materials to reduce heat build-up and vibration, extending machine life and increasing running speeds. Using our proven 4 feed per inch cam design, our machines generate the highest production numbers possible. Combining the highest production numbers with the fastest knitting machine in the world, there is no question why Vanguard Pai Lung is the industry leader in knitting technology.
