Company History
In 1925 Bremen-born business man Henry Lamotte founded Henry Lamotte Import/Export. The company traded mainly in vegetable and fish oils. Major damage during the war put an end to the company’s previous continual development.

In 1999 the company moved into completely new business premises in Bremen and created the prerequisites for continuing its dynamic development.
In 2006 HENRY LAMOTTE realigned its company structure. The business units „Oils“ and „Food“ were spun off into two independent companies and since 1st October 2006 have operated as HENRY LAMOTTE OILS GmbH and HENRY LAMOTTE FOOD GmbH. For the mutually shared functions both are supported by the Henry Lamotte Services GmbH, ensuring that based on close bonds with the markets all business partners receive the greatest possible benefits.
