The "ITMA" workshop in the run-up to the world's most important textile trade fair of the same name is part of the fixed schedule of the Saal-based machine builder Mahlo GmbH + Co KG. More than 60 sales and service partners from all over the world came to Lower Bavaria from 1 to 3 June to learn about current developments, deepen their knowledge and strengthen networks.

"Every four years, shortly before the ITMA textile trade fair, it has become a tradition to invite all our representatives to our headquarters for this meeting," explains Mahlo CEO Rainer Mestermann. "This way they can expand their knowledge of our machines and find out about the latest systems." The programme included intensive training sessions on various machines as well as presentations on focus topics from the industry, such as energy-efficient and sustainable production. With more than 60, mostly long-standing, partners from all over the world, it was much more than a workshop: "It's a family reunion."

This is also evident in the organisation. For example, the participants were personally catered for by owner Aura Greenwood-Mahlo. She prepared lunch on both days of the seminar. "For us, this is part of the Mahlo spirit", says the CEO. Just like a colourful programme after the work was done. A culinary city tour through Regensburg as well as an excursion to the Weltenburg monastery provided entertainment and the opportunity to exchange ideas away from work.

"The workshop has an important meaning for us as a company," explains Mestermann. Not only because it is an opportunity to meet long-time partners in person again. "But above all for the benefit of our customers. Because they can be sure that their contact person in the target market is up to date with the latest developments, knows the ins and outs and can thus optimally support them in their challenges." With this network, the world market leader in straightening machines and process control for textile finishing is well positioned for the challenges of the future.

Smart Quality Control for Technical Textiles

In the end, what matters is the result: a filter that performs reliably, a membrane that remains stable in storm conditions, a composite material with precisely defined properties. But the path to achieving this is demanding. In the production of technical textiles, numerous parameters interact – and even the smallest deviations can have major consequences.

New Gravimax MMX-R X-ray sensor platform opens up new application fields

The demands placed on quality control in web-based production processes are increasing: materials are becoming more complex, basis weights are varying more widely, and at the same time, pressure is growing to make processes more efficient and transparent. Precise measurement data across the entire web width has therefore become a key factor in ensuring stable production processes. With its new Gravimax MMX-R sensor platform, Mahlo introduces a radiometric measurement solution designed to set new standards in determining basis weight and material composition. The platform combines advanced X-ray technology with newly developed signal processing, enabling measurement tasks that previously often required multiple sensor technologies.
