The Company – Prym
Committed to the future – out of tradition. For almost 500 years. The basis of the company’s success has been, right from the start, the clear focus on discerning niche markets in the metal processing segment. Founded around 1530, Prym is one of the oldest family-owned industrial companies in Germany and in the world. Prym, with its German roots, counts among the most important market leaders in the world.
The parent company William Prym Holding operates four separate segments, with sites in Europe, Latin-/Northamerica, Asia and Africa.
