Company Overview and History
Prym’s roots go back to 1530, when Wilhelm Prym worked as a goldsmith in Aachen. This makes Prym one of the oldest industrial companies in Germany and one of the most traditional in the world. Throughout its history, the company has reinvented itself time and again, ensuring its continued existence for centuries.
Relocated from Aachen to Stolberg in the mid-17th century, Prym focused on the production of brass. As brass production increasingly lost importance, the company focused more on finished brass products and became a leader in the field of machine production of metal haberdashery.
An important milestone was also the decisive further development of the press fastener by Hans F. Prym in 1903: He developed the s-spring which ensures, the press fastener can be closed and opened easily while at the same time the press fastener is securely closed. In many different colors and shapes, it has been produced in endless quantities since the beginning of the 20th century and still is, as Prym manufactures Millions of the practical daily helpers every day.
As much as Prym has changed in almost 500 years, one constant remains: The company is majority-owned by the Prym family – and will remain so.
Our internationally staffed management team reflects the Prym Group’s setup into independently operating divisions and holding.
The lean organizational structure allows the divisions to adapt to the needs of their markets, while the holding enables all parts of the group to unleash their full potential by foresighted planning, ensuring economic stability and modern talent management.
