The history of DMB Holding

DMB combines the entrepreneurial activities of the Dr. Dieter Murmann family. It thus follows the tradition of Walter Murmann in the third generation as a diversified medium-sized industrial group. The family-owned company, which is committed to its independence, currently unites six independently operating groups of companies that are leaders in their respective markets

In addition to its organic growth, DMB strives to further expand its activities through mergers & acquisitions (M & A).
