On April 23, 2021, Dieter Ramsauer, founder and proprietor of DIRAK GmbH, died suddenly and unexpectedly in Ennepetal, shortly before the age of 82.
"I am one hundred percent an optimist. I am incapable of thinking negatively."
With this attitude towards life, Dieter Ramsauer successfully established and led the company and his employees for 30 years. As a brilliant inventor and passionate entrepreneur, he left his mark on those who worked with him while creating an atmosphere of togetherness and solidarity in the company.
As a qualified toolmaker following his technical training at the Technical-Scientific Vocational Institute (Tewifa), he was responsible at an early stage as a designer for products in industrial applications. In this capacity he developed solutions for forklift truck attachments before moving to what was then one of the largest automotive suppliers, where he developed new products for new market segments. This was the genesis of his future developments, which set worldwide standards in housing production, and even today are still the basis on which many well known companies design their products.
In 1991 Dieter Ramsauer founded DIRAK and developed the company to its current level of global significance with over 600 employees worldwide and with subsidiaries and sales partners in numerous countries. With pioneering latch, hinge and fastening solutions, the company was always rooted in the tradition of its founder's inventive spirit and will also continue in the future as he meant it to be. He set the course for orderly succession himself.
