Many Vietnamese domestic manufacturers are currently modernising and extending their plants and are now looking for new applications. Karl Mayer, a leading manufacturer of warp knitting machines, is assisting Vietnamese companies with the installation of more up-to-date machines and equipment in the warp knitting sector. The company has detected this increasing demand from the state of its order books.
