NEW !!!! 💥 Here we are now 💥
At Techtextil, Steiger unveiled a breakthrough in textile innovation: a fully integrated smart glove.
This cutting-edge product combines advanced 3D knitting with embedded sensors and conductive yarns, enabling seamless interaction between textile and technology. The glove also features RFID chip integration, opening new possibilities for identification and tracking applications.
Designed with silicon yarns for enhanced ergonomics, it ensures both comfort and performance. All electronic components are fully enclosed within the knitted structure, maintaining flexibility while protecting the technology inside.
Manufactured on the new VEGA 3.90, this innovation showcases the future of smart textiles - where functionality, comfort, and seamless integration come together.

Innovation often starts with a single thread.
Here, that thread becomes a Jacquard & intarsia knee brace, knitted on our newest Vega 3.130 machine—purpose-built for the production of medical textiles. Precision, structure, and comfort come together directly on the machine to create advanced functional solutions.
Curious to see what’s possible next?
Join us at @techtextil_texprocess in Germany from 21.04. - 24.04.2026 to meet the Vega and discover the new knit developments we’ve been working on.
