Small start - big future
Success from tradition.
Better buttwelding fittings. Best quality.
Founded in 1907 as a village smithy in Buende/Westfalen, Siekmann has been producing elbows and other pipe fittings for over half a century. Success in the production of elbows was achieved as early as 1936. All product areas underwent huge expansion and were subsequently moved to Lohne where Siekmann has developed over the years into one of the largest employers in the area.
Since 2001 Siekmann has been a subsidiary of ERNE FITTINGS and has been able to take advantage of synergy with one of the world's leading manufacturers of buttwelding fittings..
