Karl Mayer reports a significant surge in 2021 orders for the Prosize and Warpdirect machines made by its Warp Preparation business from Pakistan. Dieter Gager, Vice President of Sales and Marketing at Karl Mayer, said, “Pakistan’s economy was hit hard by the coronavirus pandemic, but the textile and garment industry has quickly showed the first signs of recovery. Things have been going crazy for some time now. In particular, the Prosize sizing machine, combined with the Warpdirect beam warping machine, are proving to be bestsellers –order volume for these models was already considerable in 2020, but has been surpassed this year.”
Bed linen and terry towels from Pakistan are in great demand both in the domestic market and abroad. The latest generation weaving machines produce various articles, which require warp beams of the highest quality for their whole performance. This is where the Prosize and Warpdirect come into play, said Gager.
The beam warping machine ensures the same warping length for all warp beams, uniform thread tensions, and an even winding structure. The sizing machine that follows in the process applies to size to the threads homogeneously and without affecting the elasticity. It also requires very little water and very few chemicals to do so.
Pakistan’s textile industry is showing a promising comeback, especially the knitting industry. The knitting industry could play a significant role in enhancing the country’s exports and contribute to GDP.
