VEM Sachsenwerk GmbH (Dresden)
The company VEM Sachsenwerk GmbH has existed in the east of Dresden for over 115 years now. It is without a doubt one of the most interesting and significant places of central German industrial and engineering history. During the transition from 19th to the 20th century this was one of the cradles of the European electrical engineering industry.
| Founded 1886 |
Founder Otto Kummer
First large power station equipment, trams and city street lighting equipment
|
| 1903 |
Foundation Sachsenwerk-Licht and Kraft-AG Electric motors, generators, transformers, switchgear and radio sets.
|
| mid-twenties |
First hydroelectric generators for pumped storage and hydrodam power stations in Germany.
|
| 1930 |
Take-over of Sachsenwerk-Licht und Kraft-AG by AEG
development and production of first standardised motor series (low-voltage asynchronous motors)
|
| 1945 -1953 |
A Company of the Soviet joint stock company "Kabel" Manufacture of rotating electrical machines, flow and disconnecting switches (1,000 MVA), transformers and radio sets.
|
| 1948 |
Formation of VEM trade mark association
Sachsenwerk had the task of manufacturing medium- and High-powered electrical machines for industrial applications.
|
| 1955 - 1958 |
Sachsenwerk manufactures new-type machine sets for pumped storage power stations (synchronous generators, turbine and storage pump).
|
| 1960 - 1990 |
Combine "Elektromaschinenbau"
Integration of 15 companies
The product range comprised electric drives and generators from micromotors to hydroelectric generators.
|
| since 1990 |
Transformation of the combined group into several privatisable companies.
|
| 1997 |
Privatisation of Sachsenwerk
Since 1 January 1997 Sachsenwerk has been a member of a group of companies owned by the Merckle family from Blaubeuren / Germany.
