Introducing: HERBERT DAMMANN GmbH, mechanical engineering company. Founded in 1979 and a good 40 years later the company has become a hidden hero of the industry. Hidden away in the idyll of Lower Saxony between wind turbines and cultivated fields, the family business develops internationally sought‑after special vehicles – with engines from Mercedes‑Benz Trucks.

The company has achieved tremendous success. Demand and equipment are constantly increasing to such an extent that in 2006, it ultimately called for an expansion – DAMMANN needed a new plant for its machines. The halls in Buxtehude‑Hedendorf now cover 13,000 square metres, and every one of them means space for people, ideas, prototypes, machines and tools.
