Company History

40 years ago Ernst Suhner, who founded the company "Dorit" in Switzerland, developed the first automatic pickle injector. In just a short time, the company had expanded their product range from pickle injectors and brine preparing systems to manufacturing vacuurn tumblers, salting-, marinating- and mixing machinery, dry and cooked cured meat presses, stuffing and clipping equipment, netshirring and netspreading devices, ham moulds and mould lid presses as well as a variety of specialised equipment of all kinds. Today, Dorit machines are not only made for the salted meat processing industry, but also for application in the treatrnent of poultry-, fish- and seafood specialities. In addition, there are many companies in the nut-, chocolate- and pet food industry, who are currently using our products.
The German company Dorit was founded in 2001, due to the growing demands of the Common Market. In 2003 Anton Schmid, who has been working for Dorit since 1985, became the controlling shareholder of Dorit in Gerrnany and is now the owner of the company. A new company - the DFT Deutsche Fleisch Technik GmbH - was set up by Maria and Anton Schmid in 2006. These two companies formed the »Meat Processing Equipment Group Dorit/DFT« and joined in August 2009 under the name of Dorit-DFT Fleischereimaschinen GmbH. Dorit-DFT Fleischereimaschinen GmbH is now supplying a full range of equipment for the curing industry to countries all over the world and is laying emphasis on quick and speedy order processing as well as offering expert consultation services.
