Our History
Pioneer since 1895
Pioneer since 1895
From tradition to innovation: since the company was founded in 1895, we have changed from a classic foundry to an agile innovator in serveral sectors. Today, we design and manufacture worldwide innovations in the fields of ship's windows and pressure-tight special glazing, and high-performance aluminium alloys, as well as pioneering AI in materials development.
Founding
In the year when the Kiel Canal was opened, the retired senior inspector of the Hamburg-America Line, Captain Nicolai Petersen Fehrmann and his son Eduard set up the company OHG N. Fehrmann + Co. The company founders leased a site in Hamburg's free port, and began to supply the shipyards and repair shops with cast metal products.
