thoenes ® Dichtungstechnik GmbH – Innovation with Tradition
In today’s interconnected, digitalised and globally operating economy, innovation is one of the most important prerequisites for future success and security. Drawing on traditions and experience is at least as important as engaging with the latest technologies and development trends. thoenes Dichtungstechnik GmbH is able to combine both aspects effectively and draw strength and resources from this combination as a medium-sized, family-run enterprise. Cross-sector recognition and the ever-strengthening cooperation with other innovative companies, research facilities and institutions from the region and across the country help the company to develop in a focused and sustainable manner, even in economically challenging times.
Three areas are key to the company’s development today - Sealing technology; filtration technology and lightweight construction. Each of these areas is characterised by strong, innovation-driven development in its own right, yet constantly interacts with the other areas. Braiding technology, which has been in use for over 100 years, also forms an important basis for lightweight construction, which influences many industries through the manufacture of rotationally symmetrical elements and other hollow profiles. Modern machinery and an ever-increasing level of automation help us to meet the constantly changing demands of markets and customers. The active pursuit of new partnerships with companies, administrative and local authorities, research and educational institutions, as well as the expansion of existing relationships, requires an innovative approach and unconventional implementation strategies. Our innovative corporate policy encompasses a forward-looking staff development strategy, the recruitment and training of new employees, the upskilling of long-serving staff, and the targeted renewal of the workforce through the recruitment and training of young people as apprentices.
