The DELTA e-con was selected by an independet jury of experts from the textile and apparel industry, who judged according to criteria such as innovation, functionality, design and sustainability. The award recognizes Dürkopp Adler's commitment to continuous innovation and pursuit of excellence.

"At Dürkopp Adler, we have made it our mission to develop solutions that add real value to our industry.
