Successful start in China
The first TM WEFT impresses Hebei Chunfeng Interlining Co., Ltd.
Just one month later, KARL MAYER Technische Textilien received a follow- up order, with delivery scheduled to begin in June. This manufacturer is particularly impressed by this two-bar warp knitting machine with weft insertion, mainly because of the types of product it can produce. “Compared to conventional interlining products, warp-knitted fabrics are denser, thicker and softer and, therefore, more competitive. With their profile of characteristics, they can fully meet global demand in the sector and are bridging a gap in China’s highend segment,” says Mr. Yang, the Managing Director of Chunfeng Interlining Co., Ltd. This new type of warp-knitted interlining should make full use of the advantages of the high-quality yarns used to produce them. They feature a finely structured look and exhibit an impressive behaviour in terms of fibre abrasion and deformation. In addition, the elasticity is excellent. Other manufacturers, especially in China, have recognised the advantages of the product design, as well as the exceptional cost:benefit ratio of the TM WEFT. In June, KARL MAYER Technische Textilien took more orders from companies in the region around Nantong, the centre of interlining production in China.
