Karl Mayer to showcase new tricot machines at ITMA ASIA + CITME 2025
Karl Mayer is set to unveil two exciting new machines for the tricot sector at ITMA ASIA + CITME 2025 in Singapore, with a focus on improving performance, flexibility, and cost-effectiveness in warp knitting production. These machines are designed to raise the bar in terms of efficiency, speed, and cost reduction across various textile applications.
A standout feature will be the launch of a two-bar tricot machine developed specifically for the elastic fabrics sector. Built on the reliable HKS platform, this model introduces a new technical approach that boosts productivity while keeping operational costs low. It’s a perfect fit for applications like athleisure, activewear, and intimate apparel, where high-quality, elastic fabrics are essential.
The new two-bar machine balances output, flexibility, and investment costs, allowing manufacturers to scale production without compromising product quality. Attendees will get a full look at its technical details and capabilities during the trade fair.
Karl Mayer’s second new offering is the HKS 4-M EL ECO, which adds value to the company’s 4-bar tricot machine series. It’s positioned within the medium-stroke category and combines affordability with versatility. With a 2” shogging distance on all four guide bars and the option for multi-speed and EL pattern drives, the HKS 4-M EL ECO can produce a wide range of fabrics for fashion, sportswear, and footwear.
Despite its competitive price point, the HKS 4-M EL ECO delivers fabric quality that matches Karl Mayer’s premium models, such as the HKS 4-M and HKS 4-M EL. At the event, the HKS 4-M EL ECO, in E 32 gauge, will demonstrate its capabilities by producing contemporary seersucker fabrics in real-time.
Visitors to Karl Mayer’s stand (A301) in Hall 5 at the Singapore EXPO can explore both machines and see firsthand how the company continues to lead the way in warp knitting innovation.
