Karl Mayer’s Warp Knitting Business Unit is gearing up for ITMA ASIA + CITME 2025 in Singapore under fresh leadership. The division, a cornerstone of the company’s global operations, will present itself at the major textile machinery trade fair, led by its new President, Axel Wintermeyer.

Wintermeyer, an accomplished textile engineer with business training, brings nearly three decades of experience within Karl Mayer. He began his career in Asia-Pacific machinery sales, where he played a key role in expanding into the Indian market and significantly boosted market share for weft insertion warp knitting machines in Korea, outpacing major competitors.

In 2002, he stepped into the role of Vice President Sales at Karl Mayer Chemnitz, where he grew the market share of composite machines from 10% to 50% by 2013. His leadership from 2014 to 2020 transformed the spare parts segment from a marginal activity into a vital business pillar, introducing a web shop with SAP integration to better serve customers.

Wintermeyer is now spearheading the development of the Care Solutions division, aiming to take after-sales support to a new level by 2026. This is designed to strengthen customer relationships and Karl Mayer’s competitive edge.

Looking ahead, Axel Wintermeyer says he is eager to connect with industry partners at ITMA ASIA + CITME 2025 at the Singapore EXPO, where Karl Mayer will showcase its latest innovations at stand A 301 in Hall 5.
