history
1872 to 1933 - founding decades
In 1872 the Berlin-Anhaltische Maschinenbau Aktiengesellschaft (BAMAG) was founded through a merger. With one machine factory each in Berlin and Dessau, as well as a gray and steel foundry in Dessau, BAMAG soon rose to the top group in German industry. At the beginning of the 20th century she specialized in the manufacture of components for transmissions . In 1914 the company already had 2,300 employees in Dessau. At the end of the 1920s, u. a. also the production of lifting magnets , electric cable lifts, electromagnetic clutches and brakes and similar products with an electromagnetic principle.

From 1933, the Nazi regime began arming the Wehrmacht . The production of many industrial companies was increasingly geared towards this. Two more plants were built for this purpose in 1935 and 1940. 80% of these factories were destroyed in the air raids on Dessau on March 7, 1945.
1945 to 1989 - Reconstruction and the post-war period in the GDR
After the transfer of BAMAG into public ownership by the Soviet military administration in Germany on October 30, 1946, double piston hand pumps, machines for sealing tin cans, double-shoe adhesive presses and other machine tools were manufactured in Dessau with around 700 employees. In October 1948, the production of electric motors was started and operations were assigned to VVB Elektromaschinenbau . In 1949, 3,250 electric motors were manufactured in Dessau. From then on, the company operated under the name of VEM Elektromotoren- und Kompressorenwerk Dessau and from 1951 under VEB Elektromotorenwerk Dessau . In 1953 the production of self-excited synchronous generators was started . At the turn of 1989, the company had over 2500 employees, 1650 of them in the main Dessau plant.
1989 to 1993 - after the reunification
On April 5, 1990, VEB Kombinat Elektromaschinenbau , to which the Dessau electric motor factory was also assigned, was founded into the GDR's first corporation, VEM-Antriebstechnik AG Dresden . After that, the Dessau electric motor factory operated as VEM-Elektromotorenwerk Dessau GmbH from June 1990 and as VEM-Elektromotorenwerk Dessau, a branch of VEM-Antriebstechnik AG Dresden, from March 1992 .
1993 to 2000 - re-establishment
To the impending closure of the Dessau through at that time by the trust establishment managed UEM to avoid founded four former employees of the company in April 1993, the AEM-Anhalt Elektromotorenwerk Dessau GmbH and took over on 1 June 1993, the remaining 150 employees. Using an investment ruin, a completely new plant was built by 1995.
