A long story cut short

Since its foundation in 1866 Borgers has mostly been a supplier to the automotive industry, even though then it was coaches which were fitted with wadding. At the same time, Borgers is actually one of the oldest recycling companies, as even then company founder Johann Borgers used shredded fibres in manufacturing, i.e. raw material obtained from second-hand textiles and leftovers from the clothing industry.

By growing steadily, Borgers – with its sites and co-operations – has developed into a worldwide operating partner of the automotive industry, now supplying acoustically effective textile components from 19 plants.

More than 6,000 employees within the entire group obtain a turnover of more than 850 million Euros.
