As an absolute highlight marking Techtextil, KARL MAYER is opening its new TEXTILE INNOVATION CENTER (TIC) in nearby Obertshausen, parallel to the trade fair. Throughout its Opening Week, trade fair visitors in particular are invited to experience this new hotspot for the future of textiles in person.

KARL MAYER opens up new opportunities
Technical warp knits are full of surprises and innovative potential, as the hollow fibre mats produced by KARL MAYER warp knitting machines with weft insertion demonstrate impressively. With their permeable surfaces, these high-performance structures take on very special tasks. As ‘artificial lungs’, they enrich blood outside the body with oxygen, clean the ink from printer cartridges and even carbonate drinks. They open up completely new perspectives, especially in filtration technology. KARL MAYER will be demonstrating how efficiently these hollow fibre warp knits can be produced during the Opening Week in Obertshausen, where the production machine will offer exciting performance demonstrations.
In addition, the diverse reinforcement fabrics produced on KARL MAYER multiaxial machines are paving the way for new applications. These will also be on display at the company’s 60 m² exhibition stand.
A further highlight of KARL MAYR’s booth will be the area of functional clothing. Visitors can look forward to innovative solutions for defence, workwear and sun protection.

KARL MAYER has developed special items for the carefree enjoyment of the outdoors in summer and tested their UV protection properties. The results of the tests will be presented at Techtextil.
Warp knits ensure style, comfort and safety from head to toe: a collection of highly fashionable leisure and sports shoes demonstrates the creative potential of KARL MAYER’s efficient high-performance warp knitting machines in the production of sought-after shoe fabrics.
The trade show presentation is rounded off by a video presentation on warp preparation. KARL MAYER is the only full-range supplier in this field on the market – a truly unique selling point.
