Mayer Braidtech Mayer & Cie. Merger Completed
At the end of 2020,ย Mayer Braidtech GmbHย officially merged with its former parent companyย Mayer & Cie. GmbH & Co. KG. Thisย Mayer Braidtech Mayer & Cie. mergerย creates a dedicated braiding machine division within Mayer & Cie. and completes the formal integration of braiding operations at the companyโs Albstadt headquarters.
Following the merger, braiding machine production and sales now operate as a separate business unit inside Mayer & Cie. This step follows a multiโyear transition that began in January 2019, when Mayer & Cie. started producing braiding machines in Albstadt. Previously, its sister companyย Mayer Industriesย manufactured these machines in Orangeburg, South Carolina, to make reinforcements for highโpressure hoses.
Dedicated Braiding Division in Albstadt
โWith the integration of Mayer Braidtech into Mayer & Cie. GmbH & Co. KG, we have formally completed a process that, for us, has long been accomplished on a dayโtoโday basis,โ saidย Patrick Moser, business unit manager of Mayer Braidtech and future head of Mayer & Cie.โs braiding division.
Moser explained that braiding machine production in Albstadt has run at full capacity since early 2019, while sales have been based there for even longer. As a result, braiding machines already feel like โold friendsโ at the main factory. He also highlighted strong synergies between circular knitting and braiding machine production in areas such as manpower, logistics, and everyday collaboration. โWe definitely benefit from one another,โ he said, noting that the combined setup encourages knowledge sharing and operational efficiency.
