KARL MAYER will show tricot machine in working mode at ITM

The KARL MAYER-Group (Hall 12, Stand 1210 C) will be showing its innovations relating to the production of knitted fabrics and weaving preparation technology on the stand of its trade representative Erko Textil.

One highlight of the show in hall 12, stand 1210 C will be a tricot machine in working mode. In the case of Turkish manufacturers the warp knitting machines made by KARL MAYER have become well established as versatile machines especially for the production of embroidery grounds, net curtains, upholstery fabrics, stretch underwear and semi-technical textiles.

In warp preparation interest will be focused on the KARL MAYER total solutions for the denim market and the improved Nov-O-Matic, which will be accompanied by information.

The highly flexible Nov-O-Matic sectional warping machine operates with automatic warp change and is designed for the conversion of a wide range of orders. Large, high-quality production chains can be produced just as efficiently as short yardages, e.g. for samples or for the short-cycle fashion sector. An experienced team will present the technical innovations, many new ideas and extensive know-how. The team at KARL MAYER is looking forward to meeting their guests in Istanbul.
