We connect the origins with the future.

Just when you think you have achieved a lot, it is time to take the next step. This flexibility is the core of our thoughts and actions. And has been for almost 100 years. We will continue to apply it to our hard work in the future. For the success of our company. For your success. Tradition and vision combined. That’s “think orange”.

1911. The start of an extraordinary success story: the first cut of the spade by the company founder Franz Bettermann. Since then, we have taken many steps with our employees and our customers. From metal processing plant, OBO has developed to become a complete supplier of future-oriented building installation technology. With over 30 companies and international production locations. With a presence in 50 countries. With 30,000 products. Our 2,000 employees ensure that OBO products are “conducting electricity, routing data and controlling energy” all over the world. Today, the company is still managed by the Bettermann family. The third and fourth generation continues OBO’s success story with the acquisition of the Dahl and Ackermann brands. Step by step.
