In 1924, Consmema was started in the town of Hattem by Mr Van Veen Sr. In the 1960s and 1970s the basic simple blacksmith workshop became a welding company for maintenance of dredgers and extensive steel structures.
In the mid-70s, Consmema moved to new premises in the ‘t Veen industrial park. The following period saw a growing number of customers (in various sectors) and increased machinery. Consmema supplied components to the machine and equipment construction industry, concrete moulds for the precast concrete industry and various large customized projects.
The 1990s were very successful. Consmema worked for customers like Scania and Wärtsilä and employed 45 people. It focusses on investing in production equipment.
