Johann Hinrich Bachmann was born the son of the businessman Johann Christoph Bachmann (1748–1814). His father had founded a trading house for English manufactured goods in Bremen in 1775 and since then has mainly traded in imported silk goods . When trade with England came to a standstill as a result of the continental blockade imposed by Napoleon in 1806 , the father's import and trading company turned into a shipping company and also entered the wine trade ; The focus was on red wines from Bordeaux in southwestern France , followed by southern wines and spirits .

After the death of his father in 1814, he took over the company in the second generation and in 1825 gave it the company name JH Bachmann (JHB). The family went to the early death of Johann Hinrich Bachmann in 1832 to his cousin Johann Christoph Dubbers over, who later married the widow of Johann Hinrich Bachmann and did not change the company name.

Overall, the company remained in the possession of the "Bachmann / Dubbers" family for more than 220 years, with the wine trade being sold to the Bols company in 1972 . The forwarding and logistics business was operated until the end under the company name JH Bachmann, which goes back to the company founder and his son Johann Hinrich Bachmann , even after the sale in 1996 and then under changing owners until the company transferred to the Danish logistics group in 2006/07 DSV A / S . The traditional company name can still be read today above the entrance portal of the office building of the former company on the Schlachte in Bremen, which was built in 1913 and rebuilt in 1948 (see picture).
