Dürkopp Adler completes M-TYPE series - All types of construction available now
With the launch of the new cylinder arm version class 669 Dürkopp Adler can offer all types of construction of the M-TYPE platform now. Thus, the successful series has been completed.
„With the M-TYPE program we are able to cover the largest part of all applications occurring in the
field of medium-heavy duty sewing“, says Dietrich Eickhoff, Manager Sales & Marketing of the
Dürkopp Adler Group. „Moreover, also in the segment ‘shoe machines’ we are excellently positioned
with the M-TYPE“, Eickhoff continues.
Apart from the outstanding technological features of the MTYPE series the machines are of
great interest to the customers due to their high flexibility. Dietrich Eickhoff: „The advantages
for the customers are obvious. Due to the platform concept all features can be combined“.
Especially customer-oriented is also the newly-arranged concept of the program versions ECO,
CLASSIC and PREMIUM. Thus, the customer can find out the appropriate version for his application
very easily.
The success of the M-TYPE program becomes evident when having a look at the sales figures.
Since their launch in 2005 more than 7,000 M-TYPE machines have been sold up to now. And the
interest is growing further. In recent weeks the leading manufacturers of car interiors have
informed themselves about the novelties of the M-TYPE series at the Dürkopp Adler headquarters in
Bielefeld. The technical possibilities, the flexibility and the equipment variants were
enthusiastically received. Orders were placed for several hundred machines to be delivered still
this year.
The M-TYPE series is further developed continuously in order to meet the market requirements
with ever new solutions. The models are extended constantly. At the Interzum taking place in
Cologne next year Dürkopp Adler will present a dozen of new M-TYPE machines, among them the PREMIUM
flat bed version as well as a version with disconnectable needle.
The success of the M-TYPE is also reflected in the number of competitors trying to copy the
concept. These imitations leave Dürkopp Adler unimpressed however. Dietrich Eickhoff: „We knew that
we would be copied, but we are prepared for imitators. Ultimately the M-TYPE has gained such a good
reputation during the past three years that everybody knows: The M-TYPE is the original“.
