According to Friedbert Schulz, an Executive of Pfaff Industriesysteme und Maschinen AG, “Thanks to the partnership with DAP America, our customers are already experiencing service improvements. In addition to improved response times, we expect this partnership to provide Pfaff Industrial with greater access to more industry segments and geographical markets throughout the Americas. Synergies from the combined Dürkopp Adler and Pfaff Industrial product range, such as those with CNC, pocket setting technology and welding equipment, will significantly raise brand awareness and perception for Pfaff Industrial in the region.”
 
To properly reflect the new business model, Dürkopp Adler America, Inc. has also changed its trading name to DAP America, Inc. effective January 01, 2014.
