The German parent company was established in 1962 from the former Dornier Planungsberatung in Friedrichshafen and was formed to focus on research and development projects for public and military facilities. Through Daimler-Benz, Dornier registered in 1995 to be an independent Business Unit of DaimlerChrysler Services as a limited liability (GmbH) planning and consulting company. At this time, the mobility services of the Daimler-Benz Group was introduced. With the founding of EADS in 2000, Dornier became a wholly-owned subsidiary of EADS Deutschland GmbH.
In 2016, DCo generated revenues of approximately € 25 million and employed roughly 160 employees.[2]
