Fassmer

Fassmer is a German family-owned company that traces its origins to 1850, when Johann Fassmer set up his own boatbuilding business in Bardenfleth in northern Germany. The company describes itself as a fifth- and sixth-generation family business and celebrated its 175th anniversary in 2025. It operates in four business areas—Maritime, Defence, Composite and Service—with headquarters on the Weser River in Berne near the German North Sea coast, and subsidiaries in Europe, America and Asia.

Fassmer's history begins in 1850, when Johann Fassmer, a shipwright employed at the Focke shipyard, left his toolbox at home for the first time and set up his own business in Bardenfleth in northern Germany. The company describes this as the initial spark that ignited the Fassmer company, which started with simple "Liekeveel" plank boats. The company's history is presented in four eras: 1850–1900 (the founding), 1900–1950 (new beginnings, setbacks, and new paths), 1950–2000 (economic miracle and material revolution), and from 2000 (globalization, diversification, innovation). Fassmer describes itself as a family business now in its sixth generation, and in 2025 it celebrated its 175th anniversary.
