Working. Together.
Only together can good things be achieved. This is how we started decades ago, and this is the path we will continue to follow in the future. This maxim applies equally to our products and our work with you, our customers and partners. It applies to our products and especially to our work with you, our customers and partners.
History
Surfacing the future
Elesgo
1992 saw the invention of ELESGO – our process for applying decorative layers to a substrate to create perfect surfaces for your products.
Electron beam curing
Just one year later, we were able to put our first own EBC plant into operation at the Oberhausen site. This was the starting point for surfaces production. Our customers in the laminate flooring industry were supplied with the first ELESGO products.
DTS Systemoberflächen GmbH
Wilhelm Taubert and Dirk Dammers founded Dammers-Taubert-Systemoberflächen GmbH, known simply as DTS, in 1995. Construction of the Möckern production site began.
Machine 1
After a year of construction, production of ELESGO surfaces began in Möckern. Our first large EBC system, Machine 1, has been producing surfaces in widths of up to 1,450 mm since 1996.
Doors & Frames
In addition to laminate flooring, we added surfaces for doors and frames to our product portfolio in 1998.
Furniture surfaces
We began offering furniture surfaces which matched our new ELESGO doors as early as 1999.
High gloss & windowsills
We started the new millennium with a worldwide novelty in our production – the first high-gloss, scratch-resistant laminate flooring surfaces were produced in our factory. We also expanded our product portfolio to include surfaces for windowsills.
Machine 2
With the numerous innovations and product developments, the production capacity was expanded in 2002 – and Machine 2 started producing ELESGO surfaces. This enables us to produce surfaces with widths of up to 1,600 mm.
Worktops
The unique durability and scratch resistance – in addition to the visual and tactile properties of ELESGO surfaces – for worktops. These were added to our product portfolio in 2005.
External facades
In 2006, our research and development team added another application area with surfaces for exterior facades.
Customised surfaces
The commissioning of our cutting and winding machine in 2007 made it possible to deliver customised rolls.
Machine 3
We continued to increase our customer base, adding more and more satisfied buyers. In order to meet the increasing demand for our products, the Möckern site was expanded. In 2008, Machine 3 was put into operation, and a fully automated high-bay warehouse with over 5,000 pallet spaces was installed to optimise our warehouse management.
Laboratory furniture
The further development of technology resulted in new, additional properties, including chemical resistance. The production of specific laboratory worktop surfaces began in 2009.
Release Film
With the development of textured release papers and texturing agents in 2013, the laminate industry gained a product that can be used multiple times in presses. This makes it a great alternative for cost-intensive press plates for quick texture changes.
clean touch
The clean touch surface, with its anti-fingerprint properties, revolutionised the market when it was launched in 2015.
peacock collection
Our first colour collection, the peacock collection, was launched in 2017 and is still popular with customers today. This collection is available from our warehouse in small quantities.
Machine 3.1 & Headquarter
Over a period of two years, Machine 3 was optimised, rebuilt, and expanded to include an EBC unit. In 2018, we moved our administrative offices from Oberhausen to Wesel.
Extension location Wesel
The 7,000 m2 extension to our Wesel site was completed. It is currently being prepared for the addition of an extra production line.
