Company Overview
DÖRKEN is a distinguished family-owned enterprise with over 125 years of experience, operating from its headquarters in Herdecke, Germany. The company, legally known as Ewald Dörken AG, has evolved from a small paint factory into a global entity, recently restructuring its core competencies into two main business units: DÖRKEN Coatings and DÖRKEN Membranes. A third pillar, a competence center for molded plastic parts, was added through the acquisition of the Wischmann Group, further diversifying its offerings and capabilities.
DÖRKEN Coatings: Advanced Surface Protection
DÖRKEN Coatings specializes in paints, coatings, tinting, and high-performance corrosion protection systems. Its industrial offerings include ultra-thin zinc flake coatings, efficient coil coatings, and electroplating systems like DELTA-PROZINC®, designed for sectors such as automotive, construction machinery, and renewable energy. A strong emphasis is placed on developing PFAS-free alternatives. The architectural coatings portfolio, featuring brands like LUCITE® and CWS WERTLACK®, provides interior wall paints such as the award-winning LUCITE® MultiResist PRO for hygiene-sensitive areas, exterior façade paints offering algae and fungi protection, and specialized wood coatings. DÖRKEN also provides custom colorants and tinting solutions with innovative, preservative-free paste technologies.
DÖRKEN Membranes: Building Envelope Solutions
DÖRKEN Membranes offers comprehensive system solutions for pitched roofs, flat roofs, façades, and foundation wall protection. Its extensive range of DELTA® roofing membranes, some backed by a 30-year warranty, are known for their longevity, tear resistance, and vapor permeability, featuring advanced technologies like BiCo and AdTec. Products like DELTA-XX PLUS® provide fall-through protection and integrated adhesive edges. For flat roofs, DELTA®-TERRAXX membranes offer drainage and water storage with up to 100-year durability and significant impact sound reduction. Façade membranes, including colored and non-combustible options like DELTA®-FASSADE FIREPROTECT A2, ensure robust weather and fire protection. The company also provides a variety of dimpled sheets and damp-proof courses for building waterproofing, alongside protective tarpaulins and high-performance spunbond nonwovens for diverse industrial applications.
