history

In April 1866 Heinrich Perschmann opened a shop for iron, steel, brass goods and tools on Braunschweig's Hagenmarkt . From this went the Hch. Perschmann GmbH. Huh is an abbreviation for the first name Heinrich.

In 1894 the son Carl Heinrich Friedrich Max Perschmann joined the company. The two of them published an illustrated and priced tool catalog in 1901 - the first in the Braunschweig region and a sensation at the beginning of the 20th century. Carl Perschmann Sr. expanded the range from 1910 and focused on quality goods. In the middle of the First World War, he built a new company headquarters on Reichsstraße in 1917.

In 1930 the eldest son Heinz Perschmann joined the company, soon followed by the younger brother Carl Heinrich Leuthold Georg Perschmann (Carl Perschmann jun.). They modernized the bookkeeping and opened a department for agricultural engineering. After the Second World War, the brothers rebuilt the trading company from ruins and expanded it in 1960 to include a new building on the corner of Reichsstrasse and Küchenstrasse. The building was designed by Friedrich Wilhelm Kraemer .

In the 1960s, Ulrich Perschmann (son of Heinz Perschmann) and his cousins Achim Perschmann and Heinrich Karl Perschmann (sons of Carl Perschmann jun.) Took over the family business as the fourth generation. In 1978 the cooperation with the Munich Hoffmann GmbH quality tools began. In 1986 the company headquarters was relocated to Wenden . Since then, a six meter high wrench has marked the company premises.

The new building “Market and Customer” after the opening (2016).

In the early 1990s, Perschmann experienced an era of upswing. The management made the strategic decision to focus on quality tools and to give up or sell various business areas. In 1991 the Hch. Perschmann GmbH opened a sales office in Berlin . From 1993 the company set up a calibration laboratory at the Braunschweig site, from which Perschmann Calibration GmbH emerged after twelve years.

In 1996, in association with the Hoffmann Group, Perschmann dared to take the step towards internationalization. The first foreign branch was established when Perschmann Sp. Z oo was founded in Poznań . From 2003 to 2007 there was another subsidiary in Great Britain. Perschmann Ltd. Birmingham was a joint venture with Oltrogge & Co. KG from Bielefeld. With the company Oltrogge, which is also a partner of the Hoffmann Group, Perschmann has been working closely in the areas of purchasing and logistics since 2001.

Justus Perschmann , son of Ulrich Perschmann, has been managing the group as managing partner since the beginning of 2002 . Under his leadership, SAP software was introduced in 2011 and the company's headquarters were expanded. As part of the company's 150th anniversary, the inauguration of the new “Market and Customer” building took place in April 2016. The building functions as the new company headquarters and is home to a tool world. At the same time, it forms the main entrance to the company premises, which is also known as the Perschmann campus.
