Karl Mayer held a warp knitting course in North America, September 19 to 23, 2022.

This was the first face-to-face event in the US since the Covid pandemic. The content topics included explanations regarding the different kinds of warp knitting machines and lappings, production calculations and an overview of the basics of textile analysis.

In total, eleven people who work in the areas of production and quality control, as well as the creative departments of textile and clothing manufacturers, attended the course, including self-taught professionals with practical experience, newcomers to the industry and warp knitting experts who were looking to update their skills. All of them benefited from the course and learnt many things that would be useful to them in their jobs. Quite a few gained a better understanding of their company’s products, were afterwards able to finally put things into context, and picked up ideas for improvements or new product solutions.

Karl Mayer trains the company’s customers all over the world, and either invites them to its sites in Germany, China and India for this purpose, or travels to see them. Karl Mayer makes warp preparation machines and is the only company in the textile industry to offer industry-leading solutions for the two main stitch-forming processes: knitting and warp knitting.
