70 years of Böckmann Fahrzeugwerke – Built for generations
Tradition, innovation and cohesion: A success story from Lastrup
70 years of Böckmann – that's over 1 million trailers built since the company was founded. As one of the world's leading manufacturers of trailers and transport solutions, the family-owned company from Lastrup employs more than 500 people and supplies over 300 specialist dealers in more than 30 countries worldwide. The anniversary year is all about celebrations and gratitude. It is a special milestone that honours the company's impressive success story while also looking to the future.
From a smithy to a global brand
The story began in 1956 in a small village smithy in Lastrup. Anton Böckmann initially repaired agricultural machinery and manufactured lattice wheels as twin tyres for tractors and rubber carts for transporting crops. With the production of livestock trailers and later specialising in horse and car trailers, Böckmann focused on quality and practical solutions right from the start. Today, the name Böckmann stands for durable products ‘Made in Germany’ that impress with their safety, functionality and well-thought-out details.
Built for generations – the anniversary motto
The motto for the anniversary year, ‘Built for generations’, reflects the company's values: Böckmann trailers are known for their durability and often accompany their owners for several generations. At the same time, Stella and Justus Böckmann are now the third generation to run the business, and many employees have been with the company for decades – some of them even in the second generation. Böckmann dealers also continue this tradition: some of them are also successfully active in the next generation and stand for a trusting partnership with customers and the company.
An anniversary logo that combines tradition and the future
To mark the anniversary, Böckmann has developed a special anniversary logo that is reminiscent of the first company logo of the former company ‘ABLAS’ (Anton Böckmann Lastrup) and at the same time pays tribute to 70 years of success. It symbolises the combination of tradition and innovation that has characterised the company for decades.
A year full of gratitude and celebrations
The anniversary year offers numerous opportunities to celebrate Böckmann's success story and at the same time thank everyone involved – employees, dealers and customers – for their long-standing support. Exciting promotions and events are planned to bring the company's values to life and further strengthen cohesion. This anniversary is a milestone that fills the company with pride and motivates it to continue working on the future with passion and innovative strength.
