Innovation from tradition

We are a family business for more than 155 years, shaped by an eventful history. Our motto, however, has carried over all five generations: Make every decision based on the market and take responsibility! This is how innovation is born.

A strong team

The group of companies is led by a strong team: -capital-forming executives- executive director partners Mathias Lohraff, Sabine von Köppen, and the executive director of EMS SAS Christoph Braun.

New production sites

The company takes over the company EMS with three production sites in France and one production site in Tunisia.

The fifth generation

Sabine von Köppen and Mathias Lohraff step up as the 5th generation to the company’s succession. They join Gerhard Lohraff and Uwe Wenkel as executive directors.

Reprivatisation

Reprivatisation and built of modern assembly sites in Germany, France, and the Netherlands. The company develops into Europe´s largest full range supplier for cable drums and equipment.

Expropriation

The family company is expropriated and renamed to VEB Holzindustrie (publicly owned company for the wood industry). Gerhard Lohraff remains operational manager, however, under difficult conditions.

The fourth generation

Gerhard Lohraff takes over the company as a fourth-generation descendant. Due to pressure from the GDR, the transition to manufacturing cable drums from wood takes place.
