As a family-run business, the Metelmann family's business activities date back to 1881. Starting his career in the sugar trade and manufacturing company Gerike, Bahr & Co., Herbert Metelmann founded Transozeanische Handels GmbH (T.O.H.) in 1950, thus creating a valuable addition to the existing business by also supplying food additives, oils, greases and chemicals, as well as his own sugar, to his customers over three generations. During this time, the company also maintained business relationships with other traditional trading houses, such as the prestigious Hamburg exporter DANGSCHAT, which specialized in pharmaceutical raw materials and additives.
After many years of successful cooperation and due to complementary business areas, it was decided to merge the activities of the two companies as Dangschat T.O.H. GmbH & Co. KG.
