history
Josef Pöppelmann founded the Pöppelmann company in 1949 at the age of 21 as a cork factory on his parents' farm in Brockdorf near Lohne. In 1954 he built a combined production, storage and residential building (today Lohner youth club) on Bakumer Straße - the beginnings of today's Pöppelmann group of companies.
After the death of the founder Josef Pöppelmann (1928–1983), his wife Gertrud Pöppelmann, b. Hövemann, (1924–2009) ran the company together with her brother-in-law, managing director Karl-Heinz Diekmann (1932–2014).
A handle cap for a cork was produced as the first plastic product in 1955. Two years later, the production of caps and stoppers for industrial applications began, and the Kapsto division was established. From around 1962, the production of complex technical injection molded parts was added: In 1986, the K-Tech division was created (since 1996 in Plant 2, Lohne-Brockdorf, Hermann-Staudinger-Straße 1). The Teku program started in 1969. In 1992, the development of the Famac division began (since 2010 in Plant 3, Lohne-Brockdorf, Pöppelmannstrasse 5).
