The global market leader and trendsetter in the production of warp knitting and warp preparation machines， KARL MAYER， is celebrating its 80th anniversary in 2017， and is marking this milestone by holding a series of special events with in-house shows held at its different subsidiaries.

An event in this demonstration of progress to mark the companys anniversary is an in-house show was held at KARL MAYER （China） in Changzhou from 23 to 25 November. During this technical presentation， the new TMJ 4/1-T terry warp knitting machine in a gauge of E 24 showed its features whilst producing patterned towels. Alongside this machine， an RDJ 5/1 double-bar raschel machine with piezo jacquard technology， also in a gauge of E 24， will be producing a spacer textile with an innovative multicoloured design for use as a shoe fabric. A brightly coloured ground surface is combined with a discreetly coloured cover face with a mesh pattern to produce this striking look. The coloured spots showing through create a butterfly-like pattern. All the main pattern elements of the final shoe are incorporated in the mirror images of the two halves of the design. The unveiling of a new machine will also be celebrated at the in-house show in Changzhou - the successful LACE.EXPRESS family is being extended by a new family member.
