KARL MAYER’s production site in Reutlingen, Germany, ceased operations Oct. 31. The closing comes after the company’s announcement of a business realignment that resulted in the discontinuation of KARL MAYER’s flat knitting machine business, STOLL. The company’s production in China will end in December.
“STOLL stands for a long tradition. That is precisely why we deeply regret that we were unable to lead the business into the future successfully,” says Oliver Matthews, president of the STOLL Business Unit. “It was not possible to find an investor to continue production at the main site in Reutlingen with its 280 employees.“
KARL MAYER will continue to service STOLL machines that are currently installed. A service concept for spare parts and support is currently being implemented at various locations. For more information, visit stoll.com.
According to the company, spare parts will be stored in two warehouses in the future. KARL MAYER’s central warehouse in Obertshausen, Germany, will take over the stocks from Reutlingen in November and handle all logistics services up to dispatch. Additionally, the company’s central warehouse in China will serve the demand for parts for BMS machines.
Final updates are available for the STOLL pattern software. Software license keys remain available for purchase, and existing installations can still be used.
