A family-owned company with tradition

In 1948, company founder Josef Uhlmann starts to produce precision molds for the production of suppositories.  In doing so, he lays the foundation for development of the company in the field of pharmaceutical packaging. His son Friedrich joins the company in 1963 and progressively forms a machine construction company of international repute out of his father's trade workshop. When Tobias Uhlmann becomes Chairman of the Supervisory Board of the Uhlmann Group in 2007, management of the family-owned company transfers to the third generation. His objective is to strengthen the company's market leadership and ensure sustainable, long-term development.
