Our company was first established in 1937 and since then, it has developed into a globally successful group of companies.
The KARL MAYER Group’s history is characterised by visionary strength, entrepreneurial courage and a drive to be successful. The Mayer family’s enduring commitment champions a long-term corporate strategy and financial independence. The management team and family shareholders enjoy a constructive working relationship. This success story will continue on this basis.
We are focussing on four areas that are crucial to ensuring the success of our group of companies, specifically:
- Textile machine engineering, our core business that has grown over time
- The development and production of electronic components as key competence parts within our machines
- Digital solutions that give our customers access to the world of Industry 4.0
- M&A to ensure success in other business areas beyond the volatile textile industry
