Mayer & Cie., the leading circular knitting machine manufacturer, has successfully started the new trade fair year by presenting its products at the DTG Dhaka trade fair.

The largest textile machinery fair in Bangladesh, the Dhaka International Textile & Garment Machinery Exhibition took place from 28-31 January 2016 in the country’s capital city. The trade fair visitors were mainly local textile manufacturers. Mayer & Cie. exhibited a Relanit 3.2 S circular knitting machine with a 30-inch diameter on an open-width frame.

Relanit machine

“Our Relanit machine, using the tried and tested relative technology, made a very good impression,” said Mayer & Cie.’s Torsten Meile, Sales Manager Bangladesh. “Our exhibit evidently corresponded well to the requirements of local customers, which is hardly surprising, given that the Relanit 3.2 S really gives value for money.”

The single jersey circular knitting machine that was on show has all the benefits of relative technology, such as gentle thread deflection and significant energy savings, the company reports. Fewer yarn breaks and less integrated fluff are additional properties that are said to be offered.

Bangladeshi market

Bangladesh is one of Mayer & Cie.’s most important international markets. The textile industry there currently faces a number of challenges. These include rising wages, improvement in workplace safety and increasing competition from countries, such as Vietnam and Cambodia.

To take up these challenges successfully, Bangladesh is relying, inter alia, on a higher quality and productivity of its machinery: the demand for single and double jersey machines has been consistently high for years, Mayer & Cie. reports. Large diameters of up to 46 inches are especially interesting for customers in Bangladesh.
