The origins of the SIEMPELKAMP Group date back to 1883, when Gerhard Siempelkamp founded the company and revolutionized the textile industry with the drilled heated platen presses he developed. In 1902, the SIEMPELKAMP iron and metal foundry was established to supply castings for the machine factory. By 1920, SIEMPELKAMP presses enjoyed an increasingly high reputation and were also built for additional applications such as metal forming. In 1930, the first fiber presses and associated drying plants and conveying systems were developed, marking the entry into process technology. In 1931, the first overseas exports of plywood presses and equipment went to the USA. In 1954, the first complete plant for the production of particleboard was constructed. In 1964, the foundry developed and built the primary shielding of the nuclear reactor of the nuclear-powered merchant ship MS 'Otto Hahn'. In 1969, the first MDF plant was constructed. Over more than 13 decades, SIEMPELKAMP's product and service portfolio evolved into a global system provider for customer industries such as wood-based materials, metal forming, composite materials, decommissioning of nuclear plants, and complex and extremely heavy castings.
