The delivery marks an important milestone for the newly established company. Just a few months earlier, in February 2026, what was believed to be the last Mayer & Cie. machine had left the assembly hall. Today, circular knitting machines are once again being manufactured in Albstadt and delivered to customers around the world – a major achievement for the company and its entire team.

OVJA Machines on Their Way to Skytex in Mexico

Another shipment followed in early August: electronic circular knitting machines from the OVJA family were loaded into a sea freight container bound for Skytex in Mexico. The family-owned, vertically integrated textile company has been a Mayer & Cie. customer for decades and continues to rely on circular knitting technology from Albstadt.

Looking ahead, the company is placing an even stronger focus on the solutions its technology enables – in other words, on the fabrics its customers produce.
