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.

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.
