history
The company was founded in 1914 and with its entry in the Bamberg commercial register on February 1 of that year, it initially operated as “New metal goods factory Bamberg, Oehlhorn & Kahn open trading company ”. The company, also known for short as Oehlhorn & Kahn , at times also known as Oehlhorn & Woelz , enjoyed "an excellent international reputation" and was one of the few companies in Europe that could, for example, produce special products such as perfume atomizers . In particular, products from the cosmetics sector were mainly exported to France and Belgium.
After the seizure of power by the National Socialists , the company had partly on important war production to be changed. A first patent was applied for in 1936 .
Since Sally Kahn was part of the Jewish faith , his family as well as the company fell victim to the " Aryanization ", as a result of which the lawyer Walter Woelz took over Kahn's shares.
After the Second World War , the Sally Kahns family was compensated in the course of reparation proceedings. In 1951, Walter Woelz left the company as a personally liable partner: At the time, the factory produced metal goods for the electrical industry, brass items, closures for perfume and the pharmaceutical industry made of both metal and Bakelite .
In 1954, the company became the sole property of the Oehlhorn family under the new name OEKAMetall. As a result, land was purchased and a new hall with a shed roof for metal processing and a branch in Burgebrach were built.
In 1972 the shareholders converted the OHG into a KG . Heinz Oehlhorn and his son Heinz Werner Oehlhorn took over the management as general partners. At the same time, entry into the automotive supplier industry was started.
After Gerald Oehlhorn joined the company in 1993, it was transformed from a limited partnership into a GmbH & Co. KG with the managing partners Heinz Werner Oehlhorn and Gerald Oehlhorn.
Starting in 1999, prospective business economists and industrial engineers were able to complete a dual course of study at the Otto Friedrich University of Bamberg and at Oekametall every three months .
After the takeover of OEKA by GEKA GmbH in 2015, metal production was spun off into a separate company in the following year, OEKATech Automotive GmbH, which was taken over by the Munich-based subsidiary Radial Capital Partners . In April 2016 OEKATech focused its production on metal processing and forming technology.
