From the family-owned cellar forge to a globally successful security company

1924, in the small village of Volmarstein near Wetter an der Ruhr: This was a time when people still went to the cinemas to watch silent films, in which children played on streets that were hardly accessible and computers were still a dream of the future. But in 1924 August Bremicker and his sons succeeded in bringing a padlock onto the market that was groundbreaking for his future and that of his family: the "Iron Rock".

At that time, the family started developing and producing padlocks in the basement of their home. With strong competition: Because in Volmarstein and the surrounding area there were many such forges at that time. But August Bremicker and his sons were so successful that the company quickly grew to 300 employees. So that in 1929 the production facility in Hegestrasse in Volmarstein was bought, which is still in operation today.
