Taking up the thread The history of Lindauer DORNIER GmbH actually started about 10,000 years ago: Since around this time, human hands have been interlacing warp and weft threads for clothing, utility or functional textiles. Weaving is therefore one of the oldest crafts in human history. Does such an old technology still have a future? You bet! World Wide Weaving Since Peter Dornier, son of the aircraft pioneer Claude Dornier, founded the Lindauer DORNIER GmbH in 1950, our machines have raised fabric production to ever new technical top levels. Today, highly complex rapier and air-jet weaving machines produce not only ties, jeans and jackets, but also parachutes, space suits and turbine blades at top speeds of up to 280 kilometres per hour, which is roughly the speed of a departing aircraft. Filters for air and water purification, wire cloth for particulate filters or medical stents are produced on weaving machines made by DORNIER, as are two out of three airbag cushions and tire cord fabrics for three quarters of all car tires worldwide. Machines longer than a soccer field And it is not only fibers that become everyday products and high-technology applications on our machines. Machines for the production of film are also developed and built in the plants in Lindau and Esseratsweiler. With up to 150 meters, these film-stretching lins are longer than a soccer field. They produce up to 600 meters per minute of starting material for PET bottles, gummi bear bags or chocolate bar packaging. They are also required for lithium-ion batteries, mobile phones, tablets and monitors. We believe in a cooperative atmosphere, creative freedom of action and good career opportunities. Our employees benefit from the success of the company through profit sharing. With freedom in thinking, fun in developing, modesty and self-confidence in appearance, the team shapes our globally acting, medium-sized family business: Ideal conditions for your future prospects.
