Over the last weeks, we have often been asked how our company will overcome the economic crisis in the old „classic" markets and how we plan to meet the challenge from the new markets in the Near and Far East. My answer is: With internal and external innovation and the reliable continuity for which DORNIER is known.

New products and developments such as our patented „AirGuide™" and  „ServoControl™" technology for Rapier and Air-jet machines presented here for the first time will be complemented by improvements in our internal organization which will help us serve you as our customer even faster and more efficiently.

It is also decisive to maintain trust in such „stormy times" and to create trust where it does not yet exist.

We therefore have strengthened and extended our subsidiaries in India and China without, however, losing sight of the requirements of our customers in Europe and America.

We continue to place importance on close cooperation with the technological leaders of your industry and feel honored to present some of them again in this edition of the INSIDER and share in their success.

I wish you interesting reading. Our team and I would be pleased to soon welcome you personally here in Lindau.
