170 years of ANKER – plenty of reasons to celebrate.
Mention ANKER to architects and interior designers, and PERLON RIPS likely comes to mind – the carpet manufacturer's iconic design classic. Yet few realize the company is marking its 170th anniversary this year. While not a conventional milestone, longevity of this caliber is a remarkable achievement in today's business landscape.
"We're proud of our longevity. It takes courage, conviction, and trust – paired with drive and inspiration. But most importantly, it takes people who embody these qualities and act on them, standing by the company even when times are challenging," says Marcus Reimann, Managing Director of ANKER.
ANKER has demonstrated this through decades of foresight—consistently shaping its products and brand identity around emerging market needs. The company has continually reinvented itself, introducing groundbreaking carpet innovations like the RUG collection VITURA. This collection honors ANKER's heritage while delivering contemporary interpretations of classic patterns for interior spaces. Recently, Texra® Serart, another collection from the Düren-based company, earned the prestigious iF Award.
Anticipating future needs and developing forward-thinking solutions is woven throughout ANKER's story—and remains central today. The company has undergone a complete digital transformation, launching sophisticated social media campaigns and refreshing its corporate identity. Most recently, a redesigned corporate aesthetic is evident on their entirely revamped website: now SEO-optimized with a cleaner interface, it delivers greater clarity and expanded technical content on carpet innovations, production methods, and sustainable solutions. BIM and pCon.planner integrations are more accessible than ever. And for creative professionals: there's now a dedicated service portal for architects and designers.
Through all these innovations, ANKER remains unwavering in one commitment: excellence in textile flooring. The company's defining strength has always been its ability to evolve and innovate without abandoning its core values and heritage. 170 years of ANKER. 170 years of quality, brand heritage, and innovation. And yes—absolutely worth celebrating.
