In 1933, during an economically difficult period of time the engineer Karl Heesemann founded the company Heesemann. Right from the beginning he specialized in the production of sanding machines. After the Second World War automatic sanding machines for the permanently growing furniture industry were developed. During this period basic inventions were made which are still milestones in the sanding technique today. Karl Heesemann responsibly led the enterprise up to an advanced age of 93 years until he died in February 2002. The management and all employees feel obliged to ensure the company´s role of innovative forerunner in the sanding technique for the future.
