history
Foundation and beginnings
On July 1, 1965, Karl Elmer founded the sanitary and heating wholesaler in Warendorf . After the establishment of branches in 1977, the first legally independent sales company was established in Bönen .
Further development
The foundation stone for the further development of Elmer was laid in 1982 with the new construction of the 22,000 m² central warehouse in Bottrop . In 1988 the first competitor was integrated into the company and thus the company no longer grew organically for the first time. The fully integrated Zimmer und Kellermann GmbH from Düsseldorf served in the following years as a further starting point for the business expansion in the Rhineland .
Another central warehouse was set up in Rheine in 1993 and in 1996 the takeover of the second competitor Dornberg-Steiner in Cologne followed. In 1998 Elmer Logistik was founded and an additional 20,000 m² central warehouse was to be built in the Dormagen district of Delrath . In 1999, the Elmer Group acquired a stake in the family company, Menge from Mönchengladbach.
The 2000s
In 2001 the Elmer Group expanded its activities to the south with the participation in the specialist wholesaler Schmitz from Bonn . In 2007, Tigges + Zepke GmbH & Co. KG, another family-run company, joined the Elmer Group.
In 2012, the new construction of an approx. 40,000 m² central warehouse began in the Aurea industrial area (North Rheda / Marburg) between Oelde and Rheda-Wiedenbrück . In return, the central warehouse in Bönen near Kamen was abandoned. In 2013, the plumbing and heating wholesaler Reichwald & Co. was fully incorporated into the group of companies and has since operated under the name Reichwald Haustechnik GmbH & Co. KG. Since the beginning of 2014, the Elmer Group has also been involved in the Bechem wholesaler in Essen . The company with 10 locations has since been a sister of the Elmer group of companies. At the end of 2015 it was also announced that two shareholders of the Elmer Group had taken over a majority stake in the sanitary wholesaler Reinshagen & Schröder from Remscheid . Reinshagen & Schröder with its 12 locations and over 300 employees is thus better equipped for the future. The Elmer Group with its ten regional companies in more than 90 branches currently employs over 1500 people.
