PAUL HARTMANN AG in Heidenheim/Germany is the heart of the group. It is one of the oldest German industrial companies and dates back to a textile factory founded in 1818 by Ludwig von Hartmann. In 1873, under his son Paul Hartmann, the company began producing absorbent cotton wool. It later went on to become the flagship of an expanding dressing material industry worldwide. In addition to numerous sales companies abroad, the HARTMANN GROUP also includes BODE Chemie (Hamburg), KNEIPP (Würzburg), Karl Otto Braun (Wolfstein) and Sanimed (Ibbenbüren).
