Karl Mayer Technical Textiles has appointed Hagen Lotzmann as its new Managing Director, effective 1 July 2025. Lotzmann, a long-standing figure within the company, also assumes the role of President of the Karl Mayer Technical Textiles business unit.

A mechanical engineer by training, Lotzmann joined the company in 2008 and has progressed through key roles in development engineering, sales, product management, and application technology. His deep understanding of the business and client needs positions him to lead the division through its next phase of growth.

Under his leadership, the Chemnitz and Selbitz sites will be further developed into centres for service, sales, and development, while production and assembly operations will be relocated within the Karl Mayer Group. Lotzmann emphasised a continued commitment to machine quality and performance, along with a renewed market focus and innovation push.

“Customers can continue to rely on the quality and performance of our machines but will benefit from an even greater market orientation and a stronger focus on their needs and requirements,” he said.

Lotzmann is also looking ahead to ITMA ASIA + CITME 2025, where he will welcome industry partners at the Karl Mayer stand A301 in Hall 5 of the Singapore EXPO.
