This year the intralogistics supplier BEUMER (Fig. 1) celebrates 75 years of existence and looks back at its successful company history. Individual customer solutions as well as products and systems that make for greater efficiency and sustainability - this is the approach that has enabled the company group with its head office in Beckum and companies around the globe to develop forward-looking intralogistic solutions. In 1935 the 33 year old senior engineer Bernhard Beumer, who was then working in thernfield of conveying technology for a company in Essen, took the plunge and became independent. In addition to courage and determination his most important basic capital was his wealth of experience from his previous work. Initially he had been employed as a repair fitter and then in mining, and had worked for a fairly long time in the Ruhrrnarea. He later completed his engineering studies. For a long time Bernhard Beumer had had the idea of forming his own company. He made this move when he heard that an empty factory was up for sale in his home town of Beckum (Fig. 2).
