DORMA first started making door closers in 1950. Now, the group comprises 71 wholly-owned companies in 47 different countries. With major production plants in Europe, Singapore, Malaysia, China and North and South America, it has an international workforce of around 6,600 employees.
DORMA operates an ongoing programme of research and development which saw it launch the first surface mounted cam-action door closer in 1986. A natural development of the company’s original door closer, the TS 93 offered advanced technology to provide rapid decrease in opening resistance, making it particularly suitable in helping to meet the requirements of Approved Document M and BS8300. Since the launch of cam action door closers, DORMA has manufactured over 10 million units.
Other firsts have included the TS 59, which was the first door closer to be marine approved, the TS 69 which was the first transom door closer and the TS 97, the first product within the CONTUR design range which includes panic hardware, lever handles and automatic door operators.
DORMA’s products have been specified for some of the most high profile projects all over the world. Combining high quality design, engineering and manufacture they offer performance and reliability that are second to none.
The DORMA Group is headquartered in Ennepetal, Germany.
