KARL MAYER started successfully into the ITMA week， its diverse exhibition area soon became the industrys favourite meeting point. During the first four days alone， just under 1，000 visitors attended， with whom recorded conversations were conducted on specific content. In addition， there were numerous people interested in orientation， inspiration and knowhow. The international audience was impressed by the modern design of the stand and by the concept behind the presentation. At ITMA 2019， KARL MAYER invited the visitors to embark on a voyage of discovery through the textile world of tomorrow.

An important issue in this context is digitization.“At ITMA in Barcelona it becomes clear again that the sector relies on digital solutions when it comes to process optimization and customer orientation. This is the reason why we are so happy about the lively response to the new solutions of our software start-up KM.ON”， said CEO Arno G？rtner.

Besides， with its exhibition， the innovative market leader built a bridge from the machine to the textile and its applications and， thus， hit the mark. “Our show around the topic of ‘Future of Textiles also attracts enormous interest. During the discussions with our clients and guests it becomes evident that our concept with a focus on innovative textile application examples in addition to our machine innovations， is successful. The textile world of experience offers inspiration for innovative application developments and thus approaches for new business opportunities”， explained Arno G？rtner with satisfaction.

The machine show impresses by highly efficient complete solutions for a production which will give the customers an important competitive edge also in the long term： flexible， trendsetting machines with excellent cost： benefit ratios for use in warp knitting， innovations in warp sampling and direct warping for the warp preparation sector， a completely new machine for composite materials. The machines are the subject of many specific project discussions and requests.

Interest is also high in KARL MAYERs solutions regarding the responsibility for the protection of the environment. “We specifically show the implementation of our strategic core topic ‘Sustainability and environment at different exhibition islands： from energy-efficient machines， via the processing of resource-saving yarns up to sustainable warp-knitted fabrics and application concepts. One highlight is surely our machine novelty concerning the topic of ‘Sustainable Denim”， told Arno G？rtner in confidence.
