His son Eduard Meyer-Mayor (1886-1964) moved to the prosperous textile San Gallo Canton, where being supported by his father-in-law Paul Louis Mayor, who was shepherd in the town of Cully in Vaud Canton, took over a factory in Neu St. Johann in Toggenburg, owned by Emil and Gustav Gnipper brothers. Gnipper brothers started their activity in 1857 at the beginning it was a yarns dyeworks becoming later a versatile weaving mill. Eduard Jr. and André Meyer-Fehr brothers run the weaving mill from 1942 to 1987, until when they gave it to André Meyer, who is today the only owner.

MEYER-MAYOR deserved its success as European leader in the classic and fashion textiles production of kitchen linen carrying the label “Made in Switzerland”. With the launch of its high target synthetic fabrics production, the Firm has opened new and interesting markets with a brilliant future, showing once more to be able to wisely mix tradition and innovation.

Since 1993 MEYER-MAYOR produces raw synthetic fabrics meeting the most sever worldwide standards in terms of weight, tear resistance, air permeability and endurance features.

Using its great experience and its wide knowledge, MEYER-MAYOR TECHNICS has become leader in its sector using sophisticated machines and with a continuous technological improvement and adjustment in order to keep up with the highly innovative market in fast evolution.

MEYER-MAYOR TECHNICS supplies raw synthetic materials to a selected elite of producers of different sectors. They use these fabrics in the production of spinnakers for transoceanic sailing yachts, aerostats, paragliders, parachutes and for other end uses.
