Traditional company, fascinating history.

Damgaard was founded in Düsseldorf in 1948. To company founder Gustav Damgaard, the decision to specialise on the production of wire for grooves offered one central advantage. For by focusing on one product, it was so much easier to discover ways of improving both the product and production processes.

A major step forward on this count was the invention of the interlocking wire or E-type, followed one year later by the invention of the interlocking V-type wire system. The latter proved to be a significant technical breakthrough, from which spinning mills worldwide are still benefiting today.

Due to continuing growth, our company moved to nearby Langenfeld in 1961. The new premises, with a total area of 7,600 square metres, housed two production halls, as well as an administration building.

Our programme was extended to include metallic card clothing, mounting equipment and doffer comb blades. Our production facilities are computer-controlled, and offer hitherto undreamt of precision and perfection.

Traditionally, our machine park has always been based mainly on in-house developments. In order to keep pace with technical developments, all machinery is subject to sophisticated upgrading and ongoing optimisation.

Since 1st of September 2005, Damgaard was integrated into the BEKAERT group. Mr. Wolfgang Wimmer took over the responsibility the new Damgaard division.

As a result the current production programm was extended, the stock improved and the customer service optimized.
