KARL MAYER’s site is located in Ahmedabad and covers an area of 3,700 m 2 , of which 2,100 m 2 are taken up by the assembly hall. For now here are assembled the creels used most frequently for warp preparation in India. If this slow start was a success, then capacity could gradually be expanded further. The aim was to build other types of creel step by step for India, and to obtain the necessary components as far as possible from domestic suppliers.
