Three companies emerged one after the other: Bremer Tran- und Ölhandel GmbH , Henry Lamotte KG Import / Export and, in 1994, Henry Lamotte GmbH , whose main shareholders two years later were his sons Otto Lamotte and Henry Lamotte. Hans Henry Lamotte remained the owner of the company until the beginning of 1996, when he handed over the management of the family business to his sons Otto and Henry Lamotte as representatives of the third generation.

The Lamotte estate in Vegesack belonged to the father.

Lamotte was accepted as a commercial member of the Haus Seefahrt Foundation in 1955 and traditionally hosted the 412th Schaffermahlzeit in 1957 as one of the three responsible creators two years later ; a brother meal organized by Haus Seefahrt since 1545 in Bremen, which is one of the “most important social events in Germany” every year. He was elected to the executive office of the managing director of the foundation, which he held for two years from 1979.

Company after 2003

The family business , which Lamotte had expanded and which had operated under the name Henry Lamotte GmbH since 1994 and moved into a newly built facility in Bremen in 1999, was realigned in 2006 by his sons Otto and Henry Lamotte. The oils and food business areas were transferred to two independent companies and have since been operating as Henry Lamotte Oils GmbH and Henry Lamotte Food GmbH ; central functions were taken over by Henry Lamotte Services GmbH . Otto and Henry Lamotte remained the shareholders of these companies.
