At Dürkopp Adler, innovation meets tradition. Dürkopp designed his first sewing machine in 1861. Over the next 20 years, Bielefeld became one of the most important centres of the sewing machine industry in Germany. By 1880, there were 19 Bielefeld companies operating in the sector, among them Dürkopp Adler. Today, the company has a worldwide service and sales organisation and is a global leader in the sewing machine and automatic sewing machine market.

Dürkopp Adler automatic sewing machines are much more than just sewing machines. The high-tech automatic machines feature state-of-the-art control technology, multiple thread feeds and automatic cutting systems, which cut through the fabric at lightning speed after the buttonhole shape is stitched. The shape and length of the buttonholes are set on the operating panel of the machine. The premium automatic double-chainstitch eyelet buttonholer 581 is equipped with a multiflex cutting system, which allows different buttonholes to be cut without changing knives. Festo solenoid valves VUVG are an important component of these ultra-modern sewing machines. They enable the fabric to be handled and processed extremely quickly and precisely, with the fastest variant for making jeans having a cycle time of just under four seconds.
