At ITMA ASIA + CITME 2024, held in Shanghai amid challenging market conditions, Karl Mayer Group showcased innovations under its theme ‘Master the Change.’ The company highlighted solutions tailored to help textile businesses navigate industry shifts, drawing over 800 visitors, primarily from China, India, and Turkey.
Kong Zhen, General Manager of Karl Mayer (China), emphasized the positive response to the company’s exhibit, featuring cutting-edge textile machinery and digital solutions. Top attractions included the HKS 2-S tricot machine, producing fine E44-grade fabrics for sun protection apparel, and the CMS 503 ki L flat knitting machine, known for its productivity and pattern versatility, displayed through an intricate ladies scarf.
Digital tools Create Design and Create Plus, offered by KM.ON, impressed attendees by enhancing design efficiency for flat knitwear, while the new Warp direct warping machine drew interest for its high-speed, high-quality output and short amortization time.
Kong noted that discussions were especially in-depth, reflecting growing market optimism, partly spurred by recent government subsidies. These interactions resulted in several key contracts, extending beyond machinery sales to new product developments.
Karl Mayer remains committed to providing technology that enhances operational flexibility, sustainability, and profitability for its customers, reinforcing its industry leadership despite fluctuating market dynamics.
