KARL MAYER machines with market calibre

Will be shown at ITM: the ML 46 (c) 2013 Karl Mayer

KARL MAYER will exhibit at ITM Texpo Eurasia 2013 on stand 1202A in Hall 12. The world market leader in warp knitting machinery and warp preparation units has an ML 46 in its exhibition package and will demonstrate the advantages of an electronic multibar Raschel machine of the latest generation.

The innovative production equipment had already attracted attention with a typical performance at last year’s ITMA Asia+CITME. The ML 46 is characterized by an extremely high productivity, by the top quality of its products, and by its versatility in different application fields – and, last but not least, it also comes at a moderate price. With its excellent cost/performance ratio the new ML 46 is the first-choice machine as it permits rapid adaptation to rapidly-changing market demands. In this case, those visiting the exhibition can see for themselves. During ITM Texpo Eurasia 2013 the newcomer will produce net curtains with complex patterns.

In addition to the interest in the exhibited ML 46, Bastian Fritsch reckons that there will be many enquiries about the HKS 3-M. 'The universal high-performance tricot machine had already been the focal point of visitors' enquiries at the 2012 event in Istanbul,' declared the regional sales manager from KARL MAYER. 'This innovative machine offers numerous production possibilities, especially for the manufacture of embroidery grounds, upholstery fabrics and net curtains, those product groups which are currently much in demand,' he added.

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.

At Booth 303 A in Hall 3 of the Tüyap Fair Convention and Congress Center, the industry leader will exhibit solutions for warp knitting, warp preparation, and technical textiles – tailored to a challenging economic environment.
