Our History

1928 – Founding

Otto Körting founded the company in Hameln, thereby laying the foundations for what is now ok Gummiwerk. Initially, the company specialised in the manufacture of rubber sheets for the footwear industry. From the very beginning, the company’s work has been characterised by high quality standards and a deep understanding of customer requirements.

1930-1950 – Expansion

As the management team expanded, the company grew and established its first international business relationships – including in Sweden, Switzerland, Italy and Portugal. Despite difficult economic times, the company managed to continue developing steadily.

1950–1980 – Growth and Industrialisation

In the decades that followed, production was expanded and technical expertise further developed. ok Gummiwerk increasingly established itself as a reliable partner for industrial applications.

1987–2022 – Focus on Technical Applications

A generational change in the company’s management marks the start of a phase of strategic development. Product development increasingly focuses on demanding technical applications. Durable materials, defined material properties and cost-effective mass production take centre stage.
