Dürr is one of the world’s leading suppliers of production systems for the automotive industry. In the past year, around 83% of the group’s sales were achieved in this sector. We have targeted and are utilizing opportunities for growth in other industries, including mining and aircraft engineering.

As a systems supplier, Düürr Systems designs complete paint shop and final assembly facilities, including plant and environmental engineering, conveyor equipment and control, automation and material handling techniques.

The R&D department at Düürr is responsible for technology development and trouble shooting. R&D directly offers CFD analysis, testing, and other painting related technical support to the automotive manufacturing industry. Typically, CFD is used to simulate the spray booth, the air supply and exhaust systems, the exhaust tank, the vehicle heat-up process in an oven, and the phosphate tank.
