Shanghai - The Karl Mayer Group welcomed strong visitor interest across both its warp and weft knitting platforms at the recent ITMA Asia + CITME exhibition.
Held from June 12 to 16 in Shanghai, the comprehensive international textile group presented a range of pioneering solutions for machines and technical services that aim to make textile production faster, more self-sufficient and more diverse. "We want to help our customers participate in the current economic boom," said Arno Gärtner, CEO of the Karl Mayer Group. "We offer our clients solutions that, above all, use the possibilities of digitization for highly efficient production."
Karl Mayer's latest developments were illustrated in the form of high-tech machines with an excellent price-performance ratio, demonstrating their skills in the fields of warp knitting, warp preparation and also flat knitting.
For the first time at a face-to-face trade fair, the new developments of the Stoll brand could be found on Karl Mayer's stand. Guests were also treated to a show of the latest on-trend textile developments, which provided ideas and inspiration for new business, including ideas for manufacturers of technical textiles.
The contents and the concept of the Karl Mayer stand were very well received by visitors, the company said, welcoming the same high amount of guests from China as at the previous trade fair in 2018, despite the fact that fewer guests than hoped for came from one of its most important customer regions, Guangdong Province, due to a Covid-19 outbreak.
Of course, the local visitors could not compensate for the corona-related impact on the number of international visitors. Nevertheless, for Karl Mayer, the plan worked out. "In view of the worldwide Corona-related travel restrictions, there were fewer visitors from abroad than in 2018. Nevertheless, we are very satisfied with our participation in ITMA Asia + CITME. Our guests, mainly from the decision-making level, were extremely interested in our exhibits and held focused discussions with us. The exchange had a great potential for success, revealed serious ambitions to invest. We are expecting numerous projects in the course of the fair," explained Yang Zengxing, General Manager of Karl Mayer (China).
Customers without the opportunity to travel are still able to learn more about Karl Mayer's market effective solutions for current and future business. Since June 18, 2021, a hybrid trade show enables visitors to take a tour of the company's virtually displayed exhibition stand, including a variety of digital information materials such as videos and interviews with experts from the live trade show.
