Most ordinary companies can look back on one history.
We are backed by three of them.Today, Enka Tecnica is one of the world’s leading specialist providers of spinnerets and precision components. And certainly not by chance – our company is backed by the bundled know-how of three industry pioneers: Vereinigte Glanzstoff-Fabriken (later Enka / Akzo Nobel), Spinndüsenfabrik Gröbzig, and American-Swiss company Engelhard (later renamed Wetzel). Over the years, buyouts and sales have merged the paths of the three long-established companies. And have united more than 100 years of experience and expertise to create a sustainable company with excellent prospects for the future. Medium-sized, flexible and independent. Because after many decades, Enka Tecnica is once again an owner-managed company as a result of a management buyout in 2009.
By the way, you can read about our company history, check out customer references and testimonials, and discover much more about Enka Tecnica in our image brochure. Just download it here. And for anyone who wants to learn more about the history of spinnerets, we recommend a visit to the Spinndüsen-Museum (Spinneret Museum) in Gröbzig, Germany.
