Dorstener Drahtwerke (DDD), based in the German town of Dorsten, celebrated its 100th anniversary in late 2018. This makes it one of approximately 1.4 per cent of all German companies which have already reached or exceeded that age. The original wire drawing plant became a globally successful technology company in the Ruhr area, operating as the DDD Group with subsidiaries and affiliates in nine countries.

This successful development was made possible to a large extent through continuous adaptation of the product portfolio to always meet the requirements of customers in a constantly changing market. 100 years ago, wires for wire stitching of all kind made up most of the sales.

Nowadays the portfolio includes ultrafine woven mesh and wire meshes in various designs, sieve and filter products for process engineering applications and highly specialised wires for the graphics industry, medical technology and modern automotive applications. www.dorstener-drahtwerke.de
