Karl Mayer GOM24 single end warping machine
The saying "a good warp is the key to successful weaving" is one that we take to heart. Our most recent investments have been in single end warping. In January 2014 we took delivery of our first Karl Mayer GOM24 single end warping machine, we liked the machine so much that in February 2015 the second machine arrived, our minimum warp lengths are now 7mt. For larger warps our Benninger Benmatic section warping machines with individual end tensioning and robotic leasing allow us to make warps up to 3000mt in length. So any warp, any size.

The Staubli Safir Drawing In machine is a truly unique and state of the art machine with colour recognition and the ability to differentiate S and Z twist yarns at a speed of 160emds/minute it is truly world class.
