Company History

Successful family owend company for over 100 years

Successful since 1903

The starting signal for more than one hundred years of successful corporate history in trading marine and commercial hardware fell on 01 July 1903 of business registration of the company founder Mr. Wilhelm Albers. Klaus Albers led the company over 40 years of success in the third generation.

With the entry of Rütger Martens as a partner and managing director in 2005, the foundation for the future was laid. Since 01.10.2009 Rütger Martens leads the company with sole responsibility.

Continuity is an argument for for many customers, with whom we have business relationsships lasting for several decades. Today the company presents itself as a modern partner with the business units ship fittings, safety engineering and locking systems - also specially optimized for use at sea - as well as door- and furniture fittings for use in the commercial sector and residential customers.

Since 2015 we present our product range in the heart of Hamburg in a modern and exclusive showroom. Here you find door- and furnitur fittings, security and locking technology in most demanding quality for consumers, carpenters, architects and building contractors.
