The company was founded in 1890 as Karl-Schiege-Eisenbau in Paunsdorf , at that time before Leipzig . Initially, the production profile included the construction and assembly of bridges; later also complete halls, e.g. B. 1908 the roof of the Handelshof in Leipzig. The company already had 150 employees in the 1900s. In 1912 the name was changed to a stock corporation . After the end of the First World War , the product range was expanded to include high-voltage pylons, construction machinery, pipelines and containers for the chemical industry. New cloakrooms and washrooms as well as a dining room with canteen were built on the site. A works council was also established. After a few expansions, the majority of the shares were transferred to Wolf Netter & Jacobi -Werke in 1922 . The entire takeover took place in 1924 as Wolf Netter & Jacobi-Werke, Eisenbau-Schiege Leipzig department . The workshops II and III were built and the workforce increased to 300 employees. During the Great Depression, their number fell to 50, until a new upswing set in in 1933. As early as 1937, faced with sales intentions, the company was transferred to the Mannesmannröhren works with the " Aryanization " in 1938 and was renamed Mannesmann-Röhrenleitungsbau AG, Eisenbau Schiege .
On April 10, 1945, the plant was largely destroyed in an American air raid. Reconstruction began just 14 days later with 26 employees.
In 1946 it was confiscated and administered by the Soviet administration. The operation was established in 1948 under the name of state-owned enterprise for the equipment of mining and heavy industry (ABUS) , short ABUS Steel Construction formerly Mannesmann VEB nationalized . In 1958 it got a new name again: VEB Brücken und Stahlbau . In the meantime 1000 employees worked in the plant. The first projects included a. the Elbe bridge Schönebeck , the north bridge in Magdeburg, a cable crane in Wismar - 1968 and the television tower in Berlin . For the first time in 1965, the state-owned company was named Industriemontagen Leipzig. In 1969 it became part of the VEB Metal Leichtbaukombinat .
After the turnaround and restructuring in 1990, it was privatized as Industriemontagen Leipzig GmbH (IMO Leipzig) in 1992.
Since 1999, a growing number of around 460 employees have been working for IMO Leipzig in Germany and abroad. In Germany it was one of the most important assembly companies. Her field of activity was mainly in steel and bridge construction, mast assembly and the construction of large tanks, silos and containers.
In 2008 the previous abbreviation became the company name IMO-Leipzig and the company also used this in its logo.
On July 25, 2017, preliminary insolvency proceedings were opened against the company at the Leipzig District Court . After the failure of the negotiations with the last investor, IMO Leipzig was wound up
