Karl Mayer used Techtextil India in order to show new warp knitting and warp preparation technologies as well as innovative textile product developments. At the trade fair, this global player was present with a lecture of its Regional Agent, A.T.E., held during the accompanying symposium, and with a stand. Both presentations met with great response. “The exhibition was smaller than expected but very well visited,” said Mark Smith. The Sales Manager of KARL MAYER’s Warp Knitting Business Unit was able to welcome many of his customers, and could establish new contacts also to non-technology-related manufacturers. Important topics of his conversations were delicate magazine weft-insertion net curtains patterned with fancy yarns, in woven-fabric look, and the appropriate machines – the TM WEFT and the WEFT.FASHION TM 3. The conversation partners included many warp knitting companies that want to set up a second mainstay with home textiles, but also net curtain weaving mills in search of new product lines. In high demand both by warp knitters and by weavers was the terry tricot machine, type TM 4 TS. Of particular interest in India is the possibility to produce towels with neat and sturdy edgings, thus, saving the edge seams.
