Company philosophy

“For us, doing a good job means recognising our corporate responsibility and treating all resources with care, complying with all guidelines that are necessary for the production of textiles and monitoring our suppliers – in particular with regard to compliance with ecological and social conditions in the extraction of raw materials in the countries of origin.”

Following on from great traditions, Damino GmbH today produces high-quality clothing damasks as well as contract and home textiles. It produces on 47 weaving machines at two locations for the national and international market – from ‘in series’ to ‘customised’ special solutions. In the modern weaving mill with finishing and confection, the company produces table and bed linen suitable for contract use, clothing damasks, textiles for airlines, railways and cruise lines as well as special textiles for the furniture and automotive industries. Working exclusively with electricity from renewable energy sources in Großschönau is an important step towards protecting the climate and conserving resources.
