50 years fohrmann-WERKZEUGE

For 50 years the name stands fohrmann for a comprehensive tool for pattern Bahner and modellers.

Our Founding Story

The result is the fohrmann-WERKZEUGE - programm in year 1974 from the creation of a model train expert business by Norbert Fohrmann. Five years later, the first tool catalog appears. During this period the interest in two smaller tool factories, resulting in an own tool manufacturing takes place. In 1983 the model train shop and fohrmann-WERKZEUGE moves into the new premises on the site of a disused colliery in Waltrop. The program will be further extended and special tools that you can hardly find in the usual tool trade, be developed. Customer requests play a major role. In 1992, the company is converted into a GmbH. The catalog is published in three languages ​​since 1993 and since 1998, the website is being prepared. In September 1999 the first customer ordered www.fohrmann.com.
