history
The origin of the association lies in the production of sackcloth and jute. This united in 1935 in the sack and tarpaulin production sub-group of the Reichsbast fiber industry. After the Second World War, the manufacturers founded their own organization in 1951, the Verband Deutscher Sack- und Segeltuchwarenfabriken e. V. The founding board members at that time were Messrs. Volkmann, Brubacher and Jungfleisch. The office was based in Düsseldorf. In the same year, the first collective agreement for North Rhine-Westphalia was negotiated before the first nationwide collective wage agreement was established in 1973.
Just two years after it was founded, Joachim Ochs, Cologne, took over the helm as the first president. He was followed by a total of seven men, including today's President Bernd Seybold from Düren. After various name changes, the current name of the association was created in 2009: ITRS.
Since 1939, the association represented the profession of tentmaker, which in 1981 replaced the plastic and heavy fabric manufacturer. This gave way to the technical manufacturer in 1997. At the same time, the Association for the Promotion of Vocational Education and Training in the Field of the Confection of Technical Textiles was founded under the umbrella of the association. V. The apprenticeship of the technical manufacturer as well as the development association exist to this day.
