The founding of PMF goes back 160 years to 1854, the year in which a steel processing plant was established in Oude Pekela, the Netherlands, whose principal focus lay on the manufacture of ships’ stern posts and rudders.
The letters PMF stand for ‘Pekelder Machine Fabriek’ (‘Pekela Machine Works’), and the company’s logo displays the old town seal used by the Municipality of Oude Pekela.
Over the years, various companies were acquired and incorporated in the Group. These include Machinefabriek Roodeschool (Roodeschool Machine Works) (1981), Schott Lichtmastenfabriek (Schott Lamppost Factory) (1984), Nederland Haarlem, Columns Division (1997), CASO Beleuchtungsmasten GmbH (CASO Lampposts Ltd.) (2007) and De Jong Konstruktie Zuidbroek (De Jong Construction Zuidbroek) (2011).
