Karl Mayer said it was present at the setting-up of the Working Group Hybrid Lightweight Technologies held on January 22, 2016 in Frankfurt.

“Lightweight construction is absolutely indispensable when operating in areas that need to conserve resources and, as a construction philosophy, has many supporters,” Karl Mayer informed in a press release.

“This is why, the German Engineering Federation (VDMA), a well-known professional organisation set up a new Working Group specialising in this field,” Karl Mayer explained.

The new platform will replace the existing Forum Composite Technology, with its 175 VDMA member companies, one of which is Karl Mayer Technische Textilien GmbH.

The managing director of Karl Mayer Technische Textilien, Jochen Schmidt too was present at the inaugural event, and was elected as a member of the board of this new group.

Karl Mayer Technische Textilien manufactures high-performance machines for the composites industry and offers biaxial and multiaxial machines.

“These machines can process all technical yarns, such as glass and carbon fibre rovings to produce reinforcing textiles for composites, which are used in a variety of applications,” the company said.

“We have already made a name for ourselves as a reliable and expert partner in the automotive and wind sectors, especially,” Jochen Schmidt said.

“With our technical know-how and experience, we can make a useful contribution to the Working Group Hybrid Lightweight Technologies,” he too added.

“The company's machines for producing multiaxial and biaxial textiles also offer a great deal of potential for designing advanced material composites and thus for opening up new applications,” Schmidt informed.

“We are a successful pioneer because we are constantly improving and developing our machines to give our customers the edge over their competitors by offering them innovative solutions,” Schmidt noted. (AR)
