PAMA: A journey since 1855

We are pleased to announce the publication of our new and expanded chronicle.

This detailed chronicle documents the remarkable history of PAMA since 1855, beginning as Friedrich Wenzel's iron foundry and later expanding into a machine factory after Ewald Paschke became involved. Expropriation followed in 1946 and a new start in 1990 as Papiermaschinenwerke Freiberg AG, and it now offers an even deeper insight into our development. It is particularly noteworthy that the chronicle was written by contemporary witnesses of the last 50 years, who contribute personal perspectives and authentic first-hand experiences.

A company with history and vision: Since our beginnings in 1855, we have continuously evolved to meet the changing needs and requirements of the industry. Our journey through three centuries has been characterized by innovation, passion, ups and downs and the relentless pursuit of success.

Our existence is based on a strong foundation of tradition and innovation. The revised chronicle shows how we have constantly reinvented ourselves while remaining true to our values. It highlights the significant challenges and achievements, in particular the difficult times during and after the expropriation in 1946, when the company was forced to assert itself under completely new conditions. It also addresses the phase after the fall of communism in 1990, which required a challenging transformation from a planned economy to a market economy and was characterized by major upheavals.

Despite the enormous challenges of these times - be it the loss of control after expropriation or the economic uncertainty after the fall of the Berlin Wall - we have always found ways to carry on. With limited materials, a great talent for improvisation and a tireless willingness to find new solutions, we made a lot out of very little and turned the company into what it is today.

What our chronicle offers:
// Historical milestones: Insight into the most important developments and successes since 1855, now more detailed and comprehensive than ever before.
// Testimonials: Personal perspectives and experiences of people who have shaped PAMA.
// Challenges: An authentic look at the challenges that have shaped us. Our history shows how we have always found a way to keep going despite setbacks and difficult phases.
// Creativity and improvisation: examples of our talent for achieving a lot with limited resources.

Our employees and former colleagues are particularly pleased with the revised chronicle, which has been met with great enthusiasm. They appreciate the opportunity to gain an even deeper insight into the history and development of our company and to feel connected to the milestones of our shared journey.

We invite you to discover our chronicle and join us on a journey through time.
