Ferencz Ronay was the first big manager who create a competitive team, and played for the first time in Divizia A, the Romanian First Football League. Stadionul Clujana (Clujana Stadium) was the main stadium of the team, situated next to the shoes factory. Even though they finished 11th out of 16th places in 1947–48 Divizia A they were relegated in Divizia B because they lost the Relegation / Promotion Play Off. Also because of the nationalization of institutions in Romania and because of the Communist Regime in Romania the team lost the sponsor and never played again in the First Football League. In 1950, they appeared under the name of Flamura Roşie Herbak Cluj, after the new name of the factory "Janos Herbak". In 1960, they merged with CFR Cluj under the name of CSM Cluj (Clubul Sportiv Muncitoresc Cluj). In 1967, CFR Cluj detached from the main team, and Dermata Cluj disappeared.
