FESSMANN - Since 1924

FESSMANN was founded by Wilhelm Fessmann in 1924. Many things have changed since then - the main ambition stayed: Our solutions must always be more mature, better worked out and better thought out, so that our customers get the best taste!

From the beginning until now

Early years

FESSMANN was founded by Wilhelm FESSMANN in 1924. At that time, the company was a supplier for local butcheries and artisans exclusively. Much has happened since then. The technology has improved, the processes have been optimized and the family business has now become an enterprise whose high-tech systems for smoking, cooking, roasting, baking, maturing and air-conditioning are in use across the world.

This evolution led to a permanent rise of the production capacities and an expansion of FESSMANN’s client base, which includes food-processing companies of any size today.

Rise to innovation leader

A milestone along this path was the development of the first semi-continuous system TF3000 in 1971, followed by the introduction of the first fully continuous system TF4000 in 1972. Thanks to these solutions for industrial food processing, FESSMANN has established itself as an innovation leader in the industry at an early stage.

This status was clearly confirmed in 1982 due to the next innovation by FESSMANN: the first RATIO smoke generator. Until today, our engineers continue to constantly improve this system and expand the RATIO-family by the development of new applications. The latest chapter of this successful story was the presentation of our RATIO-HYBRID on IFFA 2016. Its revolutionary concept enables the combination of smoldering and steam smoke, to provide the treated products an unrivalled variety of colors and flavors.

But that was by far not all! Our engineers are constantly improving our products and develop new applications for our customers – to make sure we can provide them the best machinery for the thermal treatment of food for a long time to come. Guaranteed!
