Driving WARP KNIT Inspiration

At the opening, TIC visitors will be able to discover innovative solutions for the growing workwear sector – from protective clothing to stylish items for the office.

Why start from scratch when there is already a treasure trove to draw from? With its unique collection of patterns, KARL MAYER opens the doors to almost nine decades of textile development. The INSPIRATIONHUB is thus a creative catalyst – a place where the past becomes the foundation for the new.

• A next-generation Raschel machine for the highly efficient production of shade netting

• A modular fibre spreading set-up for new lightweight construction applications and solutions for the protection sector

• A warp knitting machine with weft insertion that excels at high-precision and gentle hollow fibre processin

• A high-performance machine for the sectional warping of performance materials.

At the TIC, customers work side by side with KARL MAYER’s textile experts – and benefit from an extraordinary pool of experience, openness and innovativeness. As a team, the experts have decades of practical experience in a wide range of market segments – from Fashion & Apparel to Sports Textiles and highly specialised technical applications.

What sets them apart? They don’t think in terms of standards, but in terms of possibilities. With an open mindset, a strong focus on solutions and genuine enthusiasm for textile innovation, the experts at KARL MAYER support TIC partners in all their individual objectives.

They contribute not only in-depth material, process and machine expertise, but also a strong international network of fibre manufacturers, technology partners, institutes and brands. The experts are the heart and soul of the TIC.

The KARL MAYER Academy, which is well established in the market, has become part of the TIC and continues to offer a unique training programme. The training courses stand for sound expertise, the very highest quality and a clear focus on the requirements of everyday production. They are aimed at customer technicians, brand employees, in-house service technicians and students of textile-related subjects – and are characterised by their exceptionally high practical relevance. Here, theory is not just taught, but directly applied.

The combination of know-how, machine access and an innovative environment makes the Academy even more attractive.

KARL MAYER looks forward to presenting all these possibilities to customers, partners and the international trade press at the TEXTILE INNOVATION CENTER in Obertshausen during the opening event week.
