history
Founded in 1929 by the brothers Julius and Gilbert Durst, the company was the first to repair photo equipment. From 1930 it produced enlargers and copying machines. In 1933 Durst became a stock corporation with the participation of the Oberrauch merchant family from Bolzano. The machines of the 1930s were mainly used to produce postcards . From the 1940s, Durst was one of the pioneers of photo technology (enlargers and cameras).
In 1976 Durst UK Ltd. founded in Epsom ( Great Britain ). From 1981, Durst AG increasingly relied on digital photo technology and, since 1994, on the digital market for photo technology in the professional sector. The company developed the first Lambda laser image setter for the exposure of photo paper on a digital basis and has achieved market leadership in this area thanks to its extensive sales network. More than 1000 devices are currently in use - from the exposure of large format advertising, ground surveying to satellite data to medical technology.
