WHAT'S THE MEANING BEHIND THE UNUSUAL BRAND NAME 'DICTATOR'?
To answer this question we need a brief look into the DICTATOR company history;
In 1930 a German and a Dutchman invented the “Hydraulischen Stoßdämpfer und Schließer für Türen“ (hydraulic damper and door closer). On January 15th, 1932, a patent for this product was granted under the number 578533. This special kind of door closer dampens the door when it is slammed shut and quietly closes it and keeps it closed. Its inventors named this product “dictator”, because it dictates the door to close silently but safely.
Because the DICTATOR Group has had international roots from the very beginning, the two inventors chose to spell the word with a “c” instead of with the “k” from the German spelling.
