ABOUT US
Daken - Ideas in , in evolution
Experts in the manufacture of accessories for the Truck & Trailer and Fire & Safety sectors.
Daken S.p.A. is the result of a business venture that began in 1989
Through professionalism and teamwork, we strive to create consistently innovative products that stand out for their quality, functionality, innovation, and design. Today, Daken is a well-established and highly competitive company with a presence in approximately 60 countries around the world. The customer is at the heart of our research: meeting their needs and delivering added value is our goal.
The headquarters
29,000 square meters (11,000 of which are indoors) dedicated to innovation, bright spaces, minimalist design details, and a new automated warehouse: the Daken facility embodies the company’s philosophy. A comfortable and sophisticated environment is also a better place to work and feel at ease, which is why the designers of our headquarters included spacious meeting rooms, inviting common areas, and large windows. As you walk through the entrance lobby, you immediately get a complete picture of the solutions produced by Daken, skillfully displayed in designer showcases. Framing the headquarters are the greenery surrounding the facility and a tree that symbolizes vitality—an important concept for a dynamic and cutting-edge approach to business.

60 COUNTRIES, 5 CONTINENTS
Every day, we stand by the side of those who drive for a living on roads around the world.
Corporate Social Responsibility
For us, being socially responsible means taking concrete action and pursuing a path of growth consistent with ethical, social, and environmental principles. Every year, we prevent the release of approximately 438 metric tons of CO2 into the atmosphere thanks to the installation of a photovoltaic system that generates an average of 960.00 kW. In fact, thanks to solar power, we reduce emissions of pollutants and the use of solid fuels, and we completely eliminate noise pollution.
95% of our waste is recycled, and only 5% of the remainder is sent to landfills.
We choose fully sustainable packaging, using recyclable paper and cardboard packaging made from recycled materials, as well as packaging made from recycled plastic.
In the social sphere, we support local organizations, especially those focused on culture, sports, and youth. For years, we have supported the theater season at the Teatro Mercadante in Altamura; we are the main sponsor of Daken Invicta Matera, an amateur youth sports club; and we sponsor the women’s volleyball team in Gioia del Colle.
Through our activities and our commitment, we help advance the Sustainable Development Goals of the United Nations 2030 Agenda. Specifically, we contribute to achieving:
Goal No. 5 – Gender Equality
Goal No. 7 – Affordable and Clean Energy
Goal No. 8 – Decent Work and Economic Growth
Goal No. 12 – Responsible Consumption and Production
Goal No. 13 – Combating Climate Change
