DIRAK Entwicklungskonzepte

April 23 marked the second anniversary of the passing of our beloved founder, Dieter Ramsauer. Although we miss him greatly, we celebrate his life on what would be his 84th birthday on May 2nd and recognize the incredible impact he made on our company and the industry. His legacy lives on through the values he instilled in us and the work we continue to do in his honor.

Mr. Ramsauer is also known for his multiple patents and patent applications, which include latching, locking, and gasket mechanisms. He had a passion for manufacturing and was dedicated to creating unique and high-quality products.

We encourage you to read more about him on his memorial site, and his monumental contributions to our industry in this blog article.
