Karl Mayer champions sustainability and efficiency at JEC World 2024

The Karl Mayer Group, a leading innovator in composites industry, will showcase its commitment to sustainability and cost-effective solutions at JEC World 2024 (March 5-7, Hall 5 K 32).

Responding to the growing demand for eco-friendly materials, Karl Mayer will present non-crimp fabrics and tapes made from bio-based yarns for composite reinforcement. This technology aligns with the industry's need for sustainable solutions amidst environmental concerns and rising energy costs. As an example, the company will showcase an alpine ski partially made from hemp fiber fabrics, highlighting the potential of natural fibers in composites.

Karl Mayer offers expertise and resources to support customers in implementing projects using natural fibers. Their application technology center and composite specialists provide guidance and conduct processing trials. The company aims to solidify its position as a development partner and special machine manufacturer for innovative composite applications.

The Stoll Business Unit will present thermoplastic knit-to-shape parts featuring an attractive textile exterior and a reinforced inner layer. These double-faced products eliminate the need for back-molding, making them ideal for applications like side door panels and housing shells. This ready-to-use design also reduces waste and material consumption.
