Since 40 years now, DORNIER weaving machines are the „machines of choice“ for processing carbon fibres. The first, commercially manufactured CFRP components were produced with fabrics woven on DORNIER weaving machines. This trend has continued since then, nourished by a multitude of further developments in the DORNIER weaving machine system family comprising rapier and air-jet weaving machines as well as special machines for the processing of various technical yarns.

Based on customer requirements, machine concepts of modular construction are developed perfectly adapted to the customers‘ needs. Lindauer DORNIER GmbH, technological market leader, produces today with its approx. 1,000 employees at two locations in Swabia, Germany weaving machines for technical textiles as well as production plants for biaxially oriented thermoplastic films. In order to retain as great a lead as possible in these two areas, approx. 8% of the annual turnover are spent on research and development. This contributes largely, in addition to creative engineering work, thorough knowledge of technological coherences and close customer relations to our technologically outstanding position.
