Karl Mayer, the leading manufacturer of machinery for warp knitting, warp preparation for weaving, and technical textiles, will organize a special in-house exhibition at its subsidiary in Greensboro, NC, from April 26 to 28, aimed at the company’s North and Central American industry partners.

This exhibition will bring experts together, will be a know-how exchange, and will show the newest machines and applications for warp knitting, weaving warp preparation and composite fabrics.

The goal of the event is to provide the market an opportunity to learn about many recent innovations in detail and to generate ideas for new product development, the company reports.

Ideas and support

"We have developed an exhibition programme intended to provide our guests with fresh ideas and valuable support for their future development activities,” explained Tony Hooimeijer, President of Karl Mayer North America in Greensboro.
