This year, Dürkopp Adler Romania is celebrating 25 years of productivity, quality and success. Thus, the most important production factory for parts and components in the Dürkopp Adler Group has played an essential role in the success story of the entire Group.

Dietrich Eickhoff, Managing Director of the Dürkopp Adler Group took the opportunity to address his personal congratulations and words to the employees: "I thank you all for what you have achieved in the last 25 years - and I mean every single member of the entire Dürkopp Adler Romania team. 1995 was the first time when we visited Romania to find a new strategic production facility for the Group. At that time it had been deliberately decided to build a brand-new factory with modern production technology and excellent workforce. ” In 1997, S.C. Dürkopp Adler s.r.l. was founded in Sângeorgiu de Mures, Romania and continously developed - a wise decision, as we know today.

Reducing development times for technical textiles by accelerated thermo-oxidative aging in a high-pressure autoclave

Synthetic polymers used in technical textiles can be effectively protected against degradation caused by heat, oxygen, and water through the use of stabilizer systems. This enables service lives of several decades, extending to more than 50 years. As the use of durable technical textiles continues to grow, so does the demand for reliable methods to predict their service life within economically feasible testing periods. For the first time the German Institutes of Textile and Fiber Research Denkendorf (DITF) developed methods for robust service life prediction for textiles in an IGF research project.
