Frankfurt – Warp knitting machine builder Karl Mayer was honoured with a Founding Exhibitors award at last week’s Techtextil exhibition.
Techtextil has been one of the most important trade fairs for the technical textiles industry since 1986 and organiser Messe Frankfurt took the occasion of this milestone anniversary to honour the founding exhibitors.
The festive get-together took place on 24 April 2024 in Hall 9 and brought together a number of companies with a long tradition, including the Karl Mayer Group.
Through the awards, Messe Frankfurt said it was honouring the commitment of exhibitor pioneers in the technical textiles industry. "We celebrate the past, the present and the future of this dynamic industry with you," the award plaque, presented by Detlef Braun, member of the board of management of Messe Frankfurt, and Sabine Scharrer, director Techtextil, said.
Jochen Schmidt, general manager of Karl Mayer Technical Textiles, said the company appreciated being among those honoured. "We are delighted to have been involved right from the start and to have laid the foundations for the success of the trade fair. Techtextil is also today still an important platform for us to present our innovations and meet our customers,” he said.
