History
1851
Arnold Oventrop (1820-1871) founds the “Arnold Oventrop & Co. Messing- und Broncewaarenfabrik zu Altena” (bronze and brass works). From the start, the manufacturing programme is founded on materials containing copper. Brassware, e.g. fittings for furniture, doors and windows are produced.
1871
The company is passed on to the sons Friedrich Wilhelm (1847-1935) and Adolf Oventrop (1851-1912)
1886-1904
The town of Altena is by now highly industrialised. Employees are hard to find. Therefore Oventrop sets up further production places in the “Sauerland” region (amongst others in Iserlohn and Bigge).
1922
The son of Friedrich Wilhelm Oventrop, Paul Oventrop (1886-1974) takes over the works in Bigge. (The other works are gradually closed.)
1952
The families Fähnrich and Rump become partners of the company. The company is leading in the field of oil products.
1973
The first oil crisis means drastic cutbacks after the “Economy Miracle” years.
1975
Due to new municipal restructuring, Bigge becomes part of the town of Olsberg. The company’s head office is consequently Olsberg.
1980
New manufacturing premises are opened in Brilon. Thermostatic and other valves and controls dominate the programme.
1990
The reunification of Germany and the opening of borders to the East contributes to the company’s strong growth.
