About DREF Corporation

Developed and patented in 1973 by its inventor Dr Ernest FEHRER, DREF technology has developed its own niche in the textile industry. Today, DREF machines can be found throughout the world, producing a very wide range of yarns made from animal hairs, recycled fibers from clips, natural and synthetic fibers that are too short to be processed by traditional means and asbestos substitutes.

Resuming operations

In December of 2008, OERLIKON sold the DREF business and technology to DREF CORPORATION S/B of Malaysia where production of DREF machines has resumed. It is the stated policy of DREFCORP to maintain the exact standards of Dr. Fehrer in the construction of new DREF machines. This policy has been successfully implemented: DREF2000 and DREF3000 machines and their spare parts have been sold to customers throughout Europe, Asia, Oceania, Africa, and the Americas.
