The Grimme Group

More than 150 years ago, the company Grimme developed out of a forge in the town of Damme in Lower Saxony. During the 1930ies, the father of the current owner, Franz Grimme senior, developed the first potato harvesting equipment. In 1966, Grimme became the market leader in this segment. In 1999, the product range was considerably expanded by planting, care and handling equipment for potatoes. In the year 2003, the company added beet technology to its portfolio. Today, the Grimme Group comprises - in addition to the identically named agricultural machinery factory - the North American potato and beet technology manufacturer Spudnik, the Danish vegetable technology manufacturer ASA-Lift and the companies Internorm (plastics technology) and Ricon (distribution company for spare parts), both also based in Damme. Grimme is active in 120 countries and is represented in Great Britain, Ireland, the Netherlands, Belgium, France, Poland, Denmark, Turkey, China, India and Russia with 11 foreign subsidiaries.

In 2014, the Grimme Group generated a turnover of 438 million Euro and employed more than 2,200 staff members (core workforce) worldwide. The family company´s board of directors consists of 6 members and is headed by Franz Grimme. Christine Grimme is responsible for the department public relations within the Grimme Group. The two sons Christoph and Philipp have consistently taken over responsible projects in production or sales and marketing during their studies and after their graduation.
