Despite its international development, the De Dietrich Company has kept close ties with its region of origin. It has been an important protagonist in the economic life of the northern Vosges region for more than three centuries and continues to draw considerable strength from a corporate tradition virtually unrivalled in France for its longevity and resourcefulness. Rigour, discipline, a love of work well done and an unfailing commitment to youth education combine with a taste for technology and investment to enable De Dietrich to make flexible and rapid responses to the ever-changing needs of its customers throughout the world.
