Descriptiontext

DiloGroup is a privately held German industrial machinery conglomerate headquartered in Eberbach and operating since 1902, specializing in complete turnkey production lines and individual machines for the nonwovens (Vliesstoff) industry. The group comprises five wholly-owned entities — Dilo Systems GmbH (Eberbach), Dilo Machines GmbH, DG Engineering GmbH, Spinnbau GmbH (Bremen), and Temafa Maschinenfabrik GmbH (Bergisch Gladbach) — that together cover fiber preparation, carding feed and carding systems, aerodynamic web formation, web laying, web stretching, needle punching (Nadelmaschinen), stretching frames, process automation, and auxiliary equipment. Its MicroPunch needlepunch innovation received the IDEA Achievement Award 2025 from INDA, and the group markets itself under a 'Made in Germany' quality standard with worldwide patent protection on its self-developed know-how.

The company serves industrial nonwovens manufacturers across five end-product verticals: technical nonwovens (filtration, geotextiles), industrial nonwovens, automotive nonwovens (interior trim, acoustic panels, composites), hygiene and medical nonwovens, and home and clothing nonwovens. It conducts installations and commissioning in over 50 countries, generating revenue through project-based, quote-priced sales of capital equipment supplemented by spare parts and post-installation service and technical support agreements. Distribution is via direct enterprise field sales and an international trade-show calendar (Techtextil, INDEX, CINTE, India ITME, Exintex), and GTM motion is concentrated in long-cycle, custom-engineered capex deals with industrial manufacturers.
