German textile machinery manufacturer Terrot Textilmaschinen will showcase its advanced UCC 672-ME double-electronic jacquard circular knitting machine at ITMA Asia + CITME 2026, scheduled to take place from November 20–24 in Shanghai, China. The technology is designed for premium mattress ticking, upholstery and technical textile applications.

The UCC 672-ME features independently programmable three-way needle selection on both the cylinder and dial, enabling manufacturers to develop complex jacquard patterns, three-dimensional textures, ventilation zones and reversible fabric structures. The machine will be demonstrated with specialised mattress fabric incorporating cooling yarns, differentiated comfort zones and breathable knitted structures.

Available in diameters ranging from 34 to 42 inches, the machine offers flexible production configurations and supports a variety of applications, including mattress fabrics, upholstery textiles, spacer fabrics, footwear uppers and selected outerwear products.

The technology also enables manufacturers to process different yarns, including cotton, polyester, viscose, Tencel and selected recycled and bio-based fibres. Its advanced patterning capabilities, simplified changeovers and digital design integration aim to improve production flexibility and support the development of innovative textile structures.

At ITMA Asia + CITME 2026, Terrot will demonstrate how electronic jacquard knitting technology can help textile manufacturers meet growing demand for premium mattress fabrics, functional upholstery and specialised textile applications.
