German-based IDT Dichtungen has been a sealing technology specialist for 100 + 40 years. In the Ore Mountains of Saxony, the company’s roots reach back to 1924. The headquarters in the Ruhr metropolitan region was founded by Wolfgang Notter in 1984. A remarkable anniversary of one of our early and long-standing ESA members.

What has contributed to the company’s success? Certainly, the personality of Mr. Notter. Undoubtedly a classic pioneer, clever and curious, with an incredible drive to make a difference and push innovation. This spirit still shapes the company’s identity today. On the occasion of the double anniversary, Simone Wilson, IDT CEO and ESA Vice Chairwoman, spoke with Industrial Valves Magazine and shared some of the turning points and key moments in the company’s history.
