Turkey is an important market with a long tradition for the KARL MAYER GROUP. The first warp knitting machine made by KARL MAYER was sent to the Middle Eastern country as early as 1951. The K2 No. 207 was ordered by Jacques Saftekin from Roja Örme and was set up on site by the company's founder, Karl Mayer, himself. Since then, the number of customers and the various models supplied has steadily increased, especially from the early 1980s when far-reaching import restrictions fell. The first orders were for curtain and tricot machines, followed later by lace raschel machines.

Some of them have been in existence since the very beginning, and one of them recently celebrated a round anniversary: the first warp knitting machine produced by the innovative textile machine manufacturer based in Obertshausen was sent on 10 September 1948 to Georg+Otto Friedrich, a leading producer of warp-knitted digital printing fabrics and technical textiles in the neighboring town of Groß-Zimmern. As a token of its solidarity, the loyal customer has donated an old treasure - the seventh machine built - to KARL MAYER's Academy.
