High-quality presentation at CAITME: Uzbek Mayer & Cie. representative Textile Technologies & Services LLC receives award

The textile machinery trade fair CAITME was a success for Textile Technologies & Services LLC – in an unexpected discipline: The long-standing Mayer & Cie. representation under the direction of Anna Tsoy received an award for best stand design. Timo Schramm, Sales Manager of the circular knitting machine manufacturer Mayer & Cie., is delighted with the award. After all, an appealing booth is also a magnet for visitors. However, their influx was lower than expected. The reason for this was a parallel fabric fair in Moscow, which many local textile entrepreneurs used to present themselves to their customers.

Nevertheless, Mayer & Cie. was able to record the CAITME as a rewarding industry event: Directly on site, the company was able to complete a machine order and prepare more. Timo Schramm: “In Usbekiztan, we see continued demand for our top sellers, especially the Relanit 3.2 HS.” The highly productive circular knitting machine for single jersey knitted fabrics began its success story in Uzbekistan a few years ago. “Our local customers have recognized that investing in a premium machine is worthwhile. It is popular in the industrial frame for bales of goods up to about 160 kilograms,” says Schramm. The advantages of the Relanit 3.2 HS include its productivity and reliability in the processing of elastomer yarns.




In addition to the Relanit 3.2 HS, the MBF 3.2 for three-thread-fleece is one of the knitters’ favorites in the Central Asian country. The MBF 3.2 combines three-thread-fleece with single jersey structures. In the double jersey sector, the D4 3.2 and the D4 2.2 are sought-after models. The D4 3.2 is often in demand in gauge E24 and used to produce interlock and interlock structures. The D4 2.2 in E16 to E18 is mostly used for rib fabrics.

Timo Schramm: “We would like to thank our representative for the excellent organisation of the trade fair in this important circular knitting machine market.”

Proven performance, optimised costs – the new RE 6 EL

Nowadays textile companies increasingly need to produce small production runs and respond to market changes with instantaneous pattern changes in order to operate profitably – meaning they require machines that offer maximum flexibility, reliability and cost efficiency. KARL MAYER understands the challenges of the market and is launching its new RE 6 EL. The Raschel machine offers the core strengths of the classic RSE 6 EL and essentially the same performance parameters, but has been further cost-optimised largely due to local production advantages. This makes the newcomer an efficiency champion in production, especially when it comes to frequent pattern changes.
