Karl Mayer Academy offers
extensive product training
Mr. Fritz P. Mayer, CEO, Karl Mayer
Karl Mayer’s customers not
only benefit from its high-tech
machines. The company’s knowhow
and expertise can also give
them the edge over their competitors.
Companies can win leading market positions
and tap into new applications using
efficient high-speed Tricot machines
and Raschel machines, and the opportunities
offered by the Karl Mayer Academy
to learn more about them are available to
textile manufacturers worldwide.
The company’s Training Centre runs its
own training programmes at its headquarters
in Obertshausen and at its subsidiary
in Changzhou. The instructors at both locations
work closely with each other, and
this enables them to take into account the
special regional requirements of customers
on the company’s main markets.
A comprehensive training programme
was recently held at Karl Mayer (China)
Ltd., which was attended by the product
developer, Stefan Gross, and the instructor,
Stephan Jung. These two specialists
travelled from Germany to hold a series of
courses on the RSJ range of machines and
the RD 7 EL double-bar Raschel machine.
The courses on the RSJ machine were
held from October 17 to 26 at the Karl
Mayer Academy in Changzhou. The programme
consisted of three training courses,
each lasting three days, providing information
at different levels of detail.
The course mainly attracted designers
