August VORMANN employs roughly 190 associates at its 3 facilities, about half of whom are employed in the Ennepetal plants (administration, warehouse and logistics), and the other half in Elsterwerda (production plant). The family-owned company, now managed by its owners in the 5th generation, was founded in 1863 by Ludwig VORMANN and can thus look back on a tradition of more than 150 years. Over the years, the hinge manufacturer from the days of rapid industrial expansion in the 19th century has developed into an international player offering a wide range of different products for both DIY and professional customers today.
