Dorma Bulgaria

DORMA: A long tradition... Despite its rapid growth in the past few decades, DORMA has remained a family-owned company. The sole proprietor today is Karl- Rudolf Mankel, grandson of one of the company’s co-founders. Rudolf Mankel and his brother-in-law Wilhelm Dörken founded Dörken & Mankel KG in Ennepetal on 1 July, 1908. The first products to come out of the factory were double-action door hinges and milled screws. Right from the start, the two partners imposed the very highest quality standards on their products. The principle that applied even at that time – "Better the best at a good price than to disappoint our customers" - was destined to influence significantly the path adopted by the company, and it has indeed remained a constant right to this very day. The brand name DORMA, an acronym formed from the two surnames of the company founders, was registered with the German Patent Office in 1927. After the upheavals of the Second World War, the company launched the TS 50 door closer, heralding a significant move in a sector into which we are today the world market leader. In 1962, DORMA began production of a range of door operators and so took its first steps into the automatics market. In 1970, Dörken & Mankel KG was renamed DORMA GmbH + Co. KG and the third generation of the family joined the company in the person of Karl-Rudolf Mankel. The ensuing period saw increased emphasis on global alignment and further extensions to the product segments. In 1976, the company moved into the field of glass door furniture and fittings, and 1977 saw the creation of a subsidiary specialising in this sector, DORMA-Glas. Also in 1977, we established our first foreign sales company in the form of DORMA France. Automatic The Automatic division offers the most comprehensive and widely varied range of swing, sliding and revolving doors and also automatically operated sliding glass panel partitions. DORMA has gained the "No. 1" spot in Europe’s automatics sector and the "No. 2" position worldwide. New DORMA products CS 80 Magneo Elegant solutions for fast and safe transit.

PORTEO The high-convenience DORMA PORTEO swing door operator has garnered the “Plus X Award” for consumer products in the “Lifestyle Technology” product category. This year’s prize-winners in the fourth holding of this annual competition have just been announced in Cologne, with a 19-member jury having selected as the prize-winners – from an initial entry of over 700 candidate manufactures – a total of 226 brandname products in eleven categories. As patron of the Plus X Awards, the Minister for Innovation for the German state of North Rhine-Westphalia, Professor Dr. Andreas Pinkwart, opened the awards ceremony, addressing a few words of welcome to the assembled guests. The PORTEO “door assistant”, only recently launched on the occasion of BAU, the premier construction trade fair held in Munich, enables doors to be operated without muscle power. This plug-in door operator is easy to install and, once fitted, can respond in a number of ways – by sensing the pressure of an initial opening action, activated by a switch or operated by a radio transmitter. In all cases, it closes the door automatically after a preset hold-open time. The PORTEO “door assistant “ is particularly elegant, with an overall height of just 6 centimetres exceptionally compact, and is also quiet. Hardware DORMA combines panic hardware with motor lock. Fully new is the incorporation of a motor lock with automatic locking action. This enables the door to be opened in an emergency not only at the press of the panic bar but also by remote unlocking via an access control system or from a central control position – and all in less than one second. Security Through its STA division, DORMA has core competencies in the segment of emergency escape security systems and can boast strong positions in access control and time data/attendance recording systems.
