215 Customers Visit Karl Mayer Product Show In China

Karl Mayer showed what pioneering technologies for warp knitting looks like, at a product show on the sidelines of ITMA Asia at its plant in Changzhou City.

A whole range of brand new machines made their debut at the industry get-together, including a multifunctional Rascheltronic with maximum flexibility.

Also on show was a Textronic Lace, whose products come closer than ever before to the coveted leavers lace standard.

Visitors could also see two performance-optimised mid-range models from the tricot machine family, which were complemented by established machines with selected performance focuses.

Furthermore, a double-needle-bar raschel machine for all-round use demonstrated the possibilities for producing a wide range of high-quality jacquard spacer textiles.

In addition to the machines, there were innovative digital solutions that, among other things, revolutionise the production management of warp knitting mills.

The digital solution also monitors the machine’s energy consumption, as well as care solutions offerings for all-round support at the highest level.

215 visitors visited the Product Show, most of who came from China, but also from India, Korea, Turkey, Taiwan and Indonesia.

“The product show exceeded all our expectations. There were more guests from China and abroad than ever before at comparable Chinese events,” Rainer Müller, President (Sales) of Warp Knitting Business Unit.

“With a total of ten machines on display, we were able to show that we are technological leaders in a wide range of end applications,” he added.

“Our sales managers and our R&D team received a lot of positive feedback from our customers during and after the performance demonstrations of the machines,” Müller stated.

“Some of them were so impressed by what they saw that they started price discussions with us on site. A lace raschel machine was even sold on the spot,” he observed.
