25th anniversary of Dürkopp Adler Romania

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.

The celebrations were also attended by Mara Toganel (Prefect of Mures County), Eng. Sófalvi Szabolcs (Mayor of the Municipality of Sângeorgiu de Mures) and Vasile Pop (President of the Chamber of Commerce and Industry of Mures County) to express their congratulations and appreciate Dükopp Adler Romania and their team of 280 employees as a role model company not only in the Municipality of Sângeorgiu de Mure? but in whole Romania.

Texprocess 2026: Automation, digitalisation and AI redefine textile processing

Making investment decisions in textile processing has become significantly more demanding. Increasing energy costs, a shortage of skilled labour and ongoing geopolitical uncertainties are compelling companies to focus on technologies that deliver clear gains in efficiency and process reliability. This applies equally to apparel manufacturing and to the processing of technical textiles and high-performance materials. As a result, modernisation initiatives are assessed more carefully – even as the need to upgrade production systems continues to intensify.
