Day to Dare all Professions (DDP)
Journée Oser tous les Métiers (JOM)
The DDP/JOM aims to fight against gender stereotypes in the choice of professional orientation. It introduces 7th to 9th grade students to a profession outside of clichés, without being limited to traditionally feminine or masculine sectors. During this day, which takes place every 2nd Thursday in November, students accompany an adult of the opposite sex to their work.

On a visit to our Chinese factory, our CEO Pierre-Yves Bonvin discover the latest machine designed by our local development team. Our Chinese colleague Ben is proud to show me the STG 860, which knits a complete sweater without any manual finishing. China faces the same problems as Europe when it comes to a lack of industrial resources. Our customers find it difficult to recruit young people who prefer to work in the digital sector. This STG 860 will be presented at ITMA Asia in Shanghai from 19 to 23.11.2023, and may soon be available on the European market.

Our CEO, Pierre-Yves Bonvin, had the opportunity to participate in a diplomatic visit to Morocco by the Swiss Minister of Economy. During 4 days, Morocco has presented a dynamic and competitive economy, ready to bridge the gap between Europe and Africa. Steiger was able to establish high-level contacts to respond to the Moroccan textile industry`s desire to move upmarket. Steiger`s solutions for technical and medical knitwear were of great interest to local companies.

Steiger innovates by automating the display of threading information directly on the yarn spools.
This solution brings :
1. Efficiency: Automatic yarn labeling can help to streamline the production process by automating the task of labeling yarns and reducing the need for manual intervention.
2. Accuracy: Automatic yarn labeling systems can ensure that the correct yarn is used for each part of the knitting pattern, reducing the risk of errors and increasing the overall quality of the finished product.
3. Productivity: Automatic yarn labeling can also increase productivity by reducing downtime caused by manual labeling errors and allowing the knitting machine to run at a faster pace.

The modern IT tools used at Steiger greatly reduce paper consumption. Steiger`s technical office has drawn up countless plans in 74 years of activity. Although today they are all produced and transmitted in digital format, the plans were drawn at the time, for long hours, on tracing paper. They were then carefully stored away from light. 🖍
