Wha­te­ver the chal­len­ges of a given time, we have embraced them as oppor­tu­nities to shape stan­dards and to move the orga­ni­sa­ti­on forward. Our histo­ry at a glance Klasmann-Deilmann’s cor­po­ra­te histo­ry goes back to 1913 when Georg Klasmann foun­ded Hese­per Torf­werk GmbH, a com­pa­ny which was ren­a­med Klasmann Wer­ke GmbH in 1971. The firm that later beca­me C. Deilmann AG began pro­du­cing peat in 1920. In its ear­ly deca­des, Klasmann’s main focus was on manu­fac­tu­ring fuel peat and bed­ding for hor­se sta­bles; it also built its own peat-fuel­led power station. In the late 1950s, Klasmann and Deilmann began focu­sing incre­a­singly on the pro­duc­tion of gro­wing media for com­mer­cial hor­ti­cul­tu­re and, in 1974, star­ted deve­lo­ping black-peat-based substrates. The mer­ger of Klasmann and Deilmann in 1990 crea­ted Klasmann-Deilmann GmbH, which inves­ted in resour­ces in Ger­ma­ny, Ire­land, Lit­hua­nia and Lat­via, and in modern sub­stra­te fac­to­ries. At the same time, sub­si­dia­ries were for­med in Euro­pe, Asia and North Ame­ri­ca, in order to secu­re a local pre­sence. Along­side this, a net­work of sales part­ners aro­se that now spans the ent­i­re globe.

This rein­for­ces the acti­vi­ties in Rene­wa­ble Ener­gy and Resour­ces still fur­ther. The stra­te­gic ori­en­ta­ti­on of Klasmann-Deilmann up to the year 2025 anti­ci­pa­tes signi­fi­cant growth in acti­vi­ties in the Rene­wa­ble Ener­gy and Resour­ces sector. Avail­ab­le here: our com­pre­hen­si­ve Cor­po­ra­te Histo­ry 1913 – 2013 Georg Klasmann and the firms he led had a signi­fi­cant impact on both cen­tral Ems­land and the peat indus­try in north-wes­tern Ger­ma­ny. To coin­ci­de with the company’s cen­ten­ni­al year (2013), Dr Micha­el Haver­kamp, Direc­tor of the Ems­land Moor Muse­um, publis­hed a full and aca­de­mi­cal­ly robust Cor­po­ra­te Histo­ry char­te­ring deve­lo­p­ments ‘From the Hese­pe Peat Plant to Klasmann-Deilmann GmbH’. Dove­tail­ed with poli­ti­cal, eco­no­mic and cul­tu­ral con­tem­pora­ry histo­ry, what emer­ges here is not only a vivid pic­tu­re of a lar­ge fami­ly busi­ness, but also – and equal­ly – the uni­que por­trait of a regi­on shaped by peat­lands and peat extraction. ‘Von den Hese­per Torf­wer­ken zur Klasmann-Deilmann GmbH 1913 – 2013’ (From the Hese­pe Peat Plant to Klasmann-Deilmann GmbH 1913 – 2013) A Ger­man-lan­guage publication Publis­hed by Micha­el Haverkamp In col­la­bo­ra­ti­on with Die­ter Ostendorf Rasch-Ver­lag, Bramsche, 2013 ISBN 978–3‑89946–201‑2 450 pages EUR 25.00 plus EUR 2.40 posta­ge and packing Plea­se send an e‑mail, indi­ca­ting the num­ber of copies you wish and the deli­very address.
