Mayer & Cie continues to attach extremely high importance both to the development of new technologies and the on-going optimization of existing ones. Customer demands for maximum flexibility and productivity coupled with stringent expectations in terms of fabric quality can only be successfully addressed by manufacturers willing to back their development ambitions with hard investment.
The Mayer & Cie General Management considers this investment a major contribution towards ensuring a secure future for this medium-sized enterprise, which has now successfully entered into its fourth generation of family ownership and management.
The new features on show at the ITMA 2007 in Munich were an expression of the company's highly innovative approach and development commitment, and the year 2008 also promises to bring a raft of new developments to further underpin Mayer's leading technological position in world markets.
The company is anticipating a continuation of its successful progress throughout every sector of the group in 2008. However, the current turbulence rocking the financial markets, the threat of recession in the USA and the strength of the Euro are likely to bring about delays, particularly in larger-scale circular knitting machine projects, which will require the company to respond with the utmost flexibility.
