KARL MAYER at ITMA Asia + CITME, 12.-16.06.2012 in Shanghai

Once again, KARL MAYER (Stand B 10 in hall E 5) will be exhibiting at ITMA Asia + CITME as one of the main technical pioneers and economically successful manufacturers in the field of warp knitting machines and warp preparation machines.

The visitors to this innovative company’s large stand, B 10 in hall E 5, will be treated to a first-class machine show. Two high-speed warp knitting machines and two lace machines with new performance features in terms of efficiency and flexibility will impress them in particular. A Wefttronic® will also be demonstrating its capabilities for producing technical textiles in widths that have never been achieved before. This raschel machine with parallel weft insertion has a working width of 213" and complements the widths of 168" and 138" that have been available until now. For the warp preparation sector, KARL MAYER will be showing its new fast, versatile Nov-O-Matic 2 with Isotens creel. This automatic sectional warping machine is setting new standards in quality and productivity for producing long production warps as well as for processing batches with short running lengths.

These high-tech solutions will be located on an impressive stand made from textiles, a concept that has already created quite a stir at ITMA 2011 in Barcelona. And in Shanghai as well, KARL MAYER’s stand, with its soft, pleasant lighting, will once again invite the visitors to rest for a while and also act as a meeting point for the sector. While the exhibition is taking place, KARL MAYER will also be holding its own in-house show at KARL MAYER (China) Ltd., Changzhou City, in the district of Wujin. The TM 4-T EL for producing terry goods will be on show here.

KARL MAYER presents a textile TEXTRONIC® innovation at ITM 2026

With highly efficient machines and continuous textile innovations, KARL MAYER underscores its role as a reliable partner for discerning top-tier customers. Just in time for ITM 2026 in Istanbul, the industry leader is introducing a true innovation: an eyelash lace with its characteristic fringed look – combined with a previously unattainable 4-way stretch. While the established fabric could until now only be produced as rigid version or with one-dimensional stretch, the new elasticity in both dimensions expands the possibilities for cross-band panel fabrics.

TM WEFT, 270" – More width, more design freedom for the fashion world

KARL MAYER is expanding its successful TM WEFT series with an innovative model that opens up new possibilities, particularly in the fashion & apparel sectors. With a working width of 270", this new machine with weft-insertion not only offers significantly higher output than its narrower counterparts but is also specifically tailored to the demands of dynamic clothing market – particularly in China and Türkiye. A well-thought-out upgrade also ensures even greater design versatility.
