Company history

The company was officially founded in Bielefeld in 1935 under the name “ Bielefelder Stahltore ” by August Hörmann (1886–1944) . His son Hermann Hörmann (1912–1994) took over the company in 1944 and relocated the company headquarters to Steinhagen (Westphalia) . With the addition of the up-and-over garage door to the product range, he laid the foundation for today's corporate group .

The family company is now in the third and fourth generation of the grandchildren and great-grandchildren of the company founder. Personally liable partners are Thomas J. Hörmann, Martin J. Hörmann and Christoph Hörmann.
