History
Lindauer DORNIER GmbH, founded in 1950 by Peter Dornier (son of aviation pioneer Claude Dornier), grew from the post-WWII constraints on aircraft building, shifting from aviation to precision mechanical engineering, specializing in innovative rapier and air-jet weaving machines, film stretching lines, and composite systems, becoming a global leader known for quality, innovation, and German manufacturing in technical textiles and high-tech films for diverse industries. [2]
Soon after this, Lindauer DORNIER GmbH began building specialty machines as well, including dryers for the cardboard, paper and construction panel industry. In the mid-1960s, the product range was expanded to include foil stretching systems for the packaging and plastic foil industry and textile finishing machines for circular knitted goods.
The rapier weaving machine developed in 1967 and the air-jet weaving machine introduced in 1989 were the most important milestones in the company's rise to become the Germany's only weaving machine manufacturer of international standing.[3]
