Since the end of 2010 Dietrich Eickhoff has been Chairman of the Management Board of Dürkopp Adler AG, today GmbH, and is responsible for Sales, Marketing, Development, Quality and Legal Affairs.

In 1974 he started his career already at the Dürkoppwerke in Bielefeld as an apprentice for power system electronics technician. After various graduate studies and responsibilities in Germany, USA and Canada, as well as the successful development of the subcontinent and Asia, Mr. Eickhoff has continuously led the Dürkopp Adler AG to sustainable success as chairman since 2010. So then the main shareholder, the Shanggong Group, appointed Mr. Eickhoff to the Supervisory Board of DA AG.

With his market and sales experience paired with a well-founded product and manufacturing know-how Mr. Eickhoff has decisively been responsible for the successful growth of the DA Group. At the time of the change of DA AG's corporate form to a GmbH in 2018, Mr. Eickhoff was appointed Chairman of the Management Board.

"Do - and do it competently, innovatively fast and internationally"
