Durwen- Company profile Manufacturing

Over 50 years of competence and experience

In 1947 Nikolaus Durwen founded the company with its base in Plaidt, Germany,and as early as 1970 began the production of attachments for fork lift trucks. The Durwen family aimed to provide an engineering service to local companies, manufacturing robust equipment to individual needs. The company's philosophy from the beginning was that an efficient service along with reliable production was a natural requirement. In the 1980's the management introduced a broader range of attachments, producing more standard equipment for a wider market. In the 1990's Durwen began to export the standard product range.

Even today the customer's interests and the high standard of quality in both service and production is the main aim of the family run company. The company relies on well-trained

and highly skilled workforce, with engineers and expe-rienced technical staff based in a modern factory equipped with full CNC machine tools. Last but not least, Durwen's reliable quality control system and continuous development of the attachment range to the benefit of customers, is another reason for a constant rise in the numbers of satisfied users.

We have a product range to cover most customer applications, making Durwen one of the leading attachment suppliers to the German market. Of course, Durwen products comply with all relevant aspects of the EC Machinery Directive and EN Standards
