Daloc history

Daloc is proud of its history - for it is the long and careful development that gives the company most of its advantages. These advantages distinguish Daloc from many of its competitors.

 

The guiding policy has been to develop excellent products and to invest in continuous, steady growth ensuring that knowledge, skills and experience are retained in the company.

Daloc was established by John. W. Johansson in 1942, to manufacture fire doors and safes. Now it designs, produces and markets a truly comprehensive range of high specification doors.

The company is still owned and managed by members of the Johansson family. This continuity has fostered excellent communications; also the group has been structured to provide short decision paths. These features enable a very responsive management approach.

Daloc has received many awards. The highlights are the the Veuve Cliquot ‘Businesswoman of the Year’ and ‘the Albert Bonnier Prize to the Businessperson of the Year’ awarded to Inga-Lisa Johansson in 1995 and 2004.

Top class performance in the past does not impede progress today. As the EU market grows the need for Europe-wide standards increases. Daloc is at the forefront of companies developing and implementing EN standards.

The latest chapter in Daloc’s history is the opening of a EUR 10m wooden door factory at Töreboda in September 2004. The factory manufactures a complete range of wooden doors for public buildings. It is focused on quality and makes full use of in-house experience and the latest technology to achieve very high levels of automation.
