Karl Mayer Successfully Launches TM 4 EL
At the end of 2023, Karl Mayer launched the TM 4 EL – a new, highly flexible machine for the mid-range segment in the four-bar tricot machine sector. The all-rounder machine produces fabrics for upholstery, automotive interiors and outerwear, as well as sportswear items and home textiles, all while offering excellent value for money.
“When developing the TM 4 EL, we particularly focused on our customers’ needs. A high degree of versatility and efficiency were important. Using this leading machine, our customers can produce majority of common items and benefit from maximum speed at an attractive price,” explains Kay Hilbert, Product Owner for Global Tricot Machines at Karl Mayer. Featuring Karl Mayer’s proven CFRP technology, the TM 4 EL is up to 30% faster than the previous four-bar tricot machine designed for the commodity sector.
This development has been very well-received in the market. When it was launched during a product show on the occasion of the ITMA ASIA from 19 to 23 November 2023 at Karl Mayer (China) in Changzhou City, the newcomer certainly pulled the crowds. The displayed machine was even sold during the exhibition.
Guests from the fashion sector were particularly interested. Turkish customers appreciate the potential that the TM 4 EL represents as part of the scope to develop their business with major international brands. South American producers of apparel fabrics envisage opportunities to expand their cooperation with local brands. In particular, chic seersucker items are bringing the powerful machine with a competitive price to the attention of trend-conscious fashion manufacturers.
