Mayer & Cie on an expansion mode

Mayer & Cie, the leading German circular knitting machine manufacturer has announced its expansion plans at its German, Czech Republic and China manufacturing sites. Benjamin Mayer, Managing Director of Mayer & Cie, shed light on this and said they focussed on two things in Germany, their headquarters and the biggest plant. In Germany, the company would invest in tool machinery to expand and modernise their existing machine park to produce cams, cam boxes, yarn feeders, cylinders and frame parts. Mayer said they were also investing in new cooling and heating systems, in isolation of buildings and water pipes to save a lot of energy in the future. Finally, it would install a block heat and power plant to generate all the energy needed by them and even supply the rest of the energy into the public grid.

In Czech Republic, they were building a new plant with 5,000m2 that is 1.5 times bigger than the existing one. They would also increase their assembling capacity up to 600 machines and knitting heads for China (knitting head gets assembled in China on locally sources frames).

Mayer also feels that Iran has big potential because companies want to invest in new machinery and, they prefer German technology. He sees a big potential for new orders and further sees other markets such as South East Asia, which he says is the most interesting one.

The revolutionary spin-knit technology that Mayer & Cie announced at ITMA would be advantageous to customers, feels Mayer. He also thinks the first customers would not be the classical knitting customers, but more spinners and vertical companies.
