After more than ten successful years at Lindauer DORNIER GmbH, Mr Wolfgang Schöffl will leave the family-owned company at the end of the year to enter well-deserved retirement.

Over generations, DORNIER has stood for quality, reliability, innovative strength and partnership-based cooperation with its customers. According to the company, Mr Schöffl has embodied these values in a special way through his daily work. With a high level of personal commitment, professional competence and a strong sense of responsibility, he has made a significant contribution to the sustainable success of the weaving machine product line and to DORNIER as a whole.

Effective 1 January 2026, Ms Yvonne Schuberth will take over the management of the weaving machine product line. Previously responsible for internal sales, she brings extensive knowledge of DORNIER’s products, processes and customer requirements. In her new role, she will assume full responsibility for the weaving machines business and continue to uphold the proven values of Lindauer DORNIER, with a focus on continuity, customer orientation and technological progress.

Lindauer DORNIER thanks Mr Schöffl for his many years of dedication and wishes him all the best for the next chapter of his life. The company also wishes Ms Schuberth every success in her new position and looks forward to continuing its close and trust-based cooperation with customers.

From the Venus flytrap to foldable aircraft wings: Peter Dornier Foundation Prize 2025 honours bionic research on 3D weaving technology

Long wings with foldable tips have the potential to reduce aircraft fuel consumption and make aviation more sustainable. An interdisciplinary research team has now developed a new solution based on the Venus flytrap: Freely movable wingtips made of fibre composites which are produced using innovative 3D weaving technology. For this pioneering combination of textile technology, aviation and bionics, researchers Patrick Meyer (TU Braunschweig) and Michael Vorhof (TU Dresden) were awarded the Peter Dornier Foundation Prize 2025 in mid-July.
