Expanding their network with a view to remaining closer to customers, Karl Mayer and A.T.E. recently opened a new office in Amritsar.
Amritsar is considered one of the important textile hubs of Punjab. It has seen consistent growth in the traditional warp knitting sector over the last five decades. There are around 2000 warp knitting machines in the region, and a majority of the warp knitted fabrics are produced on the Karl Mayer and Liba machines. With the growing prospects for warp knitted fabrics, there is a lot of interest among fabric manufacturers to adopt the latest technology in warp knitting, and thus to improve their competitive edge with quality fabrics at a very viable working cost. Karl Mayer has recently booked several orders in the area.
The decision to set up an office in Amritsar came very naturally to A.T.E. and Karl Mayer, to support their customers with world-class technology solutions, prompt service, spare parts, and training on warp knitting technology.
Mr. Gurudas Aras, Director, A.T.E. Enterprises, said: “Our presence at Amritsar comes in response to the growing textile sector in general and the warp knitting sector in particular in this area. A.T.E. is a one-window solution provider across the textile value chain, and with this new set-up, we will be able to support our customers in the region much better”.
“Looking at the potential market at Amritsar, we feel very positive about the growth for the warp knitting sector. Karl Mayer has always been at the forefront of bringing the best technological innovations to customers in a way that makes life simpler for them,” added Mr. Kevin Socha, Managing Director, Karl Mayer Hong Kong.
For all textile customers in the region, the presence of A.T.E. and Karl Mayer at Amritsar will surely provide the great advantage of faster support for all their sales and service needs.
