The Höhne company was founded by Paul Höhne, a wax merchant from Hamburg. After completing his training with the Hamburg company C.W. Röper and working for the “Lüneburg Wachsbleiche” he was soon promoted from a company secretary to a director at Carl Cordes AG in Magdeburg. Paul Höhne then took up the challenge of setting up a department for compounds in Coswig-Anhalt. He was so successful that he decided to found his own company producing bitumen-based hot pouring compounds. So in 1932 the company “Paul Höhne” was founded in Coswig-Anhalt in co-operation with Carl Cordes AG. Under Dipl.-Ing. Werner Ditrich as Managing Director the company Köttgen Kabelgarnituren GmbH was founded in Bergisch-Gladbach as a subsidiary of Höhne GmbH in 1995. Köttgen Kabelgarnituren GmbH took over the “energy” part of the business of the former Köttgen GmbH. This enhanced the competence especially in the range of 10-36kV and earth cable connections. In 2002 Höhne was integrated in the Groupe Sicame. Sicame is a group of international companies with excellent connections to electricity suppliers worldwide. By this we found the ideal partner to further extent the international expansion.
