Made in Germany | The Dolezych family business turns 70: market leader in ropes, belts and fastenings

Dolezych played a crucial part in Christo and Jean-Claude's famous wrapping of the Reichstag in 1995. It was spectacular advertisement for the Dortmund company's products. But Dolezych's ropes, belts, and fastenings have a far wider application than just the art world.

Dolezych has become the German market leader in its field. And Managing partner Udo Dolezych is leading the company to international success, with subisidaries in Poland, Ukraine, China, and soon Chile. As President of Dortmund's Chamber of Commerce he accompanied Chancellor Merkel in a delegation to China. He was quick to recognise that German industry must adjust to a globalised market-place.

looking at the vids in the series ive noticed the same theme over and over again. They believe the employees are extremely important and they apply good business sense. The US could do that once we have figured out that profits are not the be all end all to good business

Oh My GOD!! This business is in Dortmund. I loved there and it makes me nostalgic.

It is interesting to note that the 'boss' is still working at 68, but public sector employees want to retire at 60, and be able to treat the bosses who create the employment from which the tax is raised to pay public sector employees' wages, as little better than criminals to be ever more regulated over what they can and cannot do. This is the attitude which needs serious change for Germany's economy to prosper.
