Obertshausen - Warp knitting machine builder Karl Mayer is supplementing its recent exhibit at the ITMA Asia + CITME exhibition with a series of technical webinars and online exhibitions.

At the show, the company presented a raft of pioneering solutions for machines and technical services that are designed to make textile production even faster, more self-sufficient and more diverse. Many of the innovations from the fields of warp knitting, flat knitting, warp preparation and technical textiles had a key focus on digitization.

Since 18 June 2021, at a hybrid fair, interested parties that were unable to travel can still find out more about what Karl Mayer has to offer for current and future business. With a simple click, visitors can take a virtual tour of the exhibition stand while accessing digital information material such as videos and expert interviews. Guests can also book webinars on selected topics.

The first online seminars took place on 29 June and 1 July 2021 and dealt with warp knitting content. The launch event imparted basic knowledge about tricot and raschel technology. This was followed by detailed information on the HKS 3-M ON, Karl Mayer's digital-generation tricot machine.

Both webinars were well attended. In each case, 80 to 100 participants had connected up, including brands, designers and customers who were interested in the subject, but also companies from outside the technology who wanted to know more about warp knitting.

In addition to know-how, they all had the opportunity to exchange ideas, which was actively used. "We were able to inspire and provide food for thought with our webinar, as the numerous questions at the end of the event showed," said Robert Kuna, trainer at the Karl Mayer Academy and head of the first webinars.
