Thanks to the photovoltaic system installed on our production site, your BUSI® machines are manufactured exclusively with clean energy.
Our history begins in 1958, when Giovanni Busi, with an innovative vision and a great entrepreneurial spirit, patented the BREBUS® device.
This revolutionary device made it possible to transform women's hosiery machines into sports hosiery machines, opening up new opportunities in the knitting sector. We have always worked hard to improve and perfect our technologies. Through constant investment in research and development, we have been able to accumulate vast experience in the field of sock machines production.
Today we are proud to produce the best single-cylinder sock-knitting machines in the world for true rib socks, synonymous with quality, precision and reliability.
Over time, we have continuously innovated our production processes, introducing new technologies and materials, which have enabled us to meet our customers' needs.
We have forged strategic partnerships with suppliers and customers, which have helped us expand our presence internationally.
Listed below are the most important events that have brought us to what we are today.

Based on modern technological equipment of the company BUSI GIOVANNI we conducted laboratory work for students. Using innovative yarns, we knitted samples of products with different interlacings. The textile machinery of the company BUSI GIOVANNI is very well designed, fairly easy to manage and very productive. It is designed so that you can use different types of threads, alone and in combination.
We want to thank you for the opportunity to work on these machines!
