A highlight will be the premiere of two tricot machines. A new two-bar model for elastic fabrics is designed to deliver maximum value with improved margins, while a new four-bar machine targets the fashion and apparel segment with regional market suitability.

“We are proud to present two state-of-the-art and high-performance tricot machines developed to meet the fundamental requirements of the textile industry,” said Axel Wintermeyer, President of the Warp Knitting Business Unit.

Technical textiles will also feature strongly. Hollow fibre mats, knitted for use in artificial lungs, demonstrate the potential of textiles in medical technology. Non-crimp fabrics and weft insertion warp knits provide sustainable solutions in construction, offering efficiency and reduced environmental impact.

“Our machines open up interesting new avenues in specific fields or provide more advantageous alternatives,” said Hagen Lotzmann, President of the Technical Textiles Business Unit.

In weaving preparation, Karl Mayer will present energy- and cost-efficient technologies, including the Cascade steam and condensation system for Prosize and the Warpdirect warping machine. These solutions aim to reduce yarn waste, improve quality and enhance efficiency. “We have prepared a versatile presentation focused on solutions that support customer success in today’s challenging conditions,” added Enzo Paoli, President of the Warp Preparation Business Unit.
