Prämeta was founded in 1945 by Ferdinand Freiherr Dr. von Soiron and his wife. In the beginning it was a company which distrib-uted hinges. For a short period spare parts and accessories for bicycles as well as the still very popular toy cars were added.
Before long the first tourniquet was available. In 1973 Heinz Drooff joined the company as Managing Partner. The Soirons sold the majority of the company to the Drooff family and to Deutsche Beteiligungsgesellschaft, Frankfurt on M. (DBG). In 1987 Soiron sold the remaining shares of the company to Carl Gommann KG in Remscheid.
In 1990 Heinz Drooff passed the management of the company to his son Heiner Drooff. In January 2000 the latter took the shares of the DBG and Carl Gommann KG and thus obtained the majority of the company. The company is now a pure family business.
In 2006 Prämeta moved to Troisdorf near Cologne,
making substantial investments to improve the infrastructure in preparation for the future requirements of the market.
