history
With an initial capital of 30 Reichstalers, master locksmith Hermann Wilhelmi opened his own workshop on February 20, 1861 in Löhstrasse in Mülheim an der Ruhr . He had patented manual pulley blocks , electric hoists, trolleys and crane systems manufactured. In 1910 Wilhelmi expanded with a branch in Paris.
The lifting equipment company WILHELMI emerged from this workshop, later Hebezeug Fabrik Wilhelmi , from 1936 H. Wilhelmi KG , from 1979 Planeta-Hebezeuge Wilhelmi GmbH and finally from 2003 PLANETA-Hebetechnik GmbH .
