Welcome to the Dolezych news blog! Here you will find the latest information and exciting news about innovative solutions in rope-, lifting-, slinging- and load securing-technology as well as the latest updates directly from Dolezych.

A tree, 35 metres tall, with a crown 30 metres wide – and made entirely of light. What sounds futuristic is the artwork of the exhibition “Mythos Wald” at the Gasometer Oberhausen. Since 20 March, the enormous indoor light installation has towered within the 100‑metre-high airspace of the industrial monument.
With the publication of VDI 2700 Sheet 18 in April 2026, an independent, practice-oriented guideline for load securing of bulk goods in flexible packaging such as sacks and FIBCs (big bags) is now available for the first time.
We spoke with two employees from different generations. The long‑standing Dolezych personalities featured are: Andreas Birke, Head of Logistics and Logistics Department Manager, and Venes Reich, who has been a commercial trainee for just under a year.
