Mayer & Cie. wants to make itself less dependent on the textile market
The Albstadt-based circular knitting machine manufacturer Mayer & Cie. (MCT) generated sales of around EUR 110 million in 2018. Compared with the previous year, the long-established company reported a slight increase in sales even though 2018 was a year of considerable challenges and the global economic situation remains difficult, clouding the outlook for the year ahead. The company does, however, expect the industry?s leading trade fair ITMA to trigger a textile machinery recovery in early summer.

Textiles can be used for heating, cooling and lighting. They can measure the heart rate, as well as monitor soil erosion on slopes, and can even be launched into space for use as space reflectors – as long as they are electrically conductive.
