Highest award for Dürkopp Adler SRL by the Chamber of Industry and Commerce of Romania
Dürkopp Adler subsidiary occupies first place of the TOP 100 for the fifth time in succession
S.C. DÜRKOPP ADLER S.R.L Romania (DARO), a subsidiary company of Dürkopp Adler AG,
has been honoured by the Romanian Chamber of Industry and Commerce with the first place of
the 2013 TOP 100 of its branch for the fifth time in succession. On November 14
th, 2014, the managing director Dipl.Ing. Johann Hemann accepted the award with
pride and joy.
In 1997 DARO started production with 112 employees only. The number of staff members
increased up to 400 in 2008. Dürkopp Adler Romania recovered very quickly from the global
economic crisis beginning at that time and the resulting staff reduction , which was followed by a
continuous rise in turnover of 10 – 20% per year. By the end of 2014 Dürkopp Adler Romania will
achieve a further increase of 20% in comparison to the preceding year.
This success is due to the expansion of the company by the acquisition of two
competitors on the one hand and to the high quality awareness and constant new investments on
the other hand. The aim is to guarantee the continually increasing order volume and the
diversification of the product portfolio also in future.
„The investment volume for automated machines has grown on the market in order to
improve productivity and product quality. We have realized increasements on the sectors garments,
shoe production, leather goods and upholstery.“ The sales manager Ion Bârlean is convinced of the
upswing of markets and the managing director Dipl.Ing. Johann Hermann is optimistic about the
future, too.
