The Bremen-Vegesacker-Fischerei-Gesellschaft was founded in 1895 to revive cargo handling in the Vegesacker port . This had shifted upstream due to the Weser correction in the port of Bremen.

His company manufactured barrels, boxes, nets and other accessories for herring fishing. Under his leadership, the company grew into one of the largest German fishing companies, increasing the number of loggers in use from 4 (1895) to 41 (1914). The company is expanded, connected to the railway network and cold stores expanded.
