History

The blacksmith’s and locksmith’s shop Friedrich Dücker was established in Hitdorf on the river Rhine – a small river port between Cologne and Düsseldorf.

The engineering company Friedrich and Peter Dücker made use of their contacts to the corrugated board and machine manufacturers within the corrugated board industry. The professional know-how of the father’s locksmith’s shop paved the way to the newly developed transport systems.

Due to growing markets a second production hall was built, and another was rented.

Modern forward-looking premises were built in Langenfeld.

A new modern shop floor in Langenfeld can be used already.

By establishing a software branch, synergies are used and competencies are developed early. Automatic transport - made by DÜCKER

Our company is provided with another manufacturing hall as well as office spaces, thus expanding production capacities to 7,000 sqm.

The acquisition of the majority of CORRPAL was to the company’s advantage as they are a strong partner in separators and palletizers. Together sales structures are optimised.

The new construction of an office building with 2,000 sqm for the expanding software branch confirms the decision to focus on our own software company.

We accept the challenge of globalisation and set up a co-operation with RINGWOOD in Chicago. Production, service, sales and after sales within the company opens the doors wide to the North American market.

In 2009, the cut of sheet-metal parts is moved to the next technological level. At this facility, steel plates are cut by the latest laser technology and are formed to the requested shape by mechanical folding machines.

Another 2,300 sqm of production surface are added in 2010 at Herzogstrasse 10 in Langenfeld.

In March 2012, Dücker Ringwood Automation LLC. is established in Illinois (USA). The site is managed by Ronald Schuszler, an employee of many years.

DÜCKER ROBOTICS is set up in Oleggio, Italy. The production of palletisers and prefeeders with robots as well as other solutions with robot technique belongs to our portfolio.

Construction of a new production hall with 18,000 sqm at Herzogstrasse 20 in Langenfeld.

By establishing the joint venture with BHS Dücker Systems Ltd. in China, we have expanded our mainstay in Asia. Local production capacities permit production close to the customer, also for corrugated board factories in the Far East.

By acquiring the manufacturing facility on Herzogstrasse 23 in Langenfeld with additional 600 sqm for switch cabinet construction we are continuing our course for expansion.

Through the acquisition of majority shares in ID2MC, we are in a position to offer our customers conventional prefeeders for their processing machines.

The new central warehouse at Ernst-Tellering-Straße 44 offers us even more space to grow.

By adding an extension to an existing office building, we can create the urgently needed space for new offices.

The purchase of the property An der Tongrube 2 enables us to build a new production facility in Monheim.

The acquisition of shares in SEEMI allows us to further expand our market share in France.

With the acquisition of shares in Krifft and Zipsner, we are expanding our market shares in Germany.

History is incentive and commitment for us at the same time. We will continue to further strengthen our position on the market. World-wide co-operations permit our company to participate in the progressing globalisation.
