Our history

From carpet cleaning to system technology

What began in 1960 as a small company for carpet and upholstery cleaning equipment is today Europe's leading specialist for technical building drying. From the very beginning, Alfred Dörle had one goal: quality and innovation — Made in Freiburg.

With the development of the first European hot water steam system in 1966 and the insulation layer drying system in 1979, DÖLCO positioned itself as a technological pioneer. Numerous patents followed — from the self-sealing floor nozzle to cloud-based remote monitoring technology.

Since 2013, DÖLCO has been part of the BEKATRON Group and continues its success story consistently: with digital solutions, state-of-the-art equipment, and the strongest system partner network in the industry.
