Karl Mayer Cements Relationship With 75 Years Old Customer
Karl Mayer dispatched the first knitting machine to Georg+Otto Friedrich, a leading producer of warp-knitted digital printing fabrics and technical textiles in September 1948.
As a token of its solidarity, Georg+Otto Friedrich has donated an old treasure, the seventh machine built by Karl Mayer to Karl Mayer’s Academy.
In the past 75 years, Georg+Otto Friedrich has tested many new Karl Mayer models in live operation in its workshops, thus helping them to be successful.
“In addition, valuable inputs for further developments came from the knitted fabrics manufacturer, which helped Karl Mayer builds even wider machines,” Kai Trippel, MD at Karl Mayer recalled.
According to Karl Mayer, Georg+Otto Friedrich is now the largest customer of the most modern generation of tricot machines, the HKS 3-M ON.
The company produces around 650 tons of warp-knitted fabrics per month at its sites in Groß-Zimmern in Hesse and Limbach-Oberfrohna in Saxony and has a separate textile finishing facility in Neresheim in Baden-Württemberg.
