History

When Carl Kiesow returned from three years of captivity in 1948, he worked with his father in his scrap metal shop in Hamburg. As early as 1950, Carl Kiesow acquired 50 percent of the company's shares.

When his father died in 1964 and Carl Kiesow and his brother inherited the scrap business, the company was sold and the proceeds shared. Carl Kiesow ran his own scrap business from now on. He found an old barn and a small piece of land on Segeberger Chaussee where he sorted scrap metal and scrap and sold it to appropriate dealers. But Carl Kiesow had a dream, he wanted something completely new - a car recycling! In 1967 he found the suitable site on today's street 'Beim Umspannwerk' (at that time the access was via Quickborner Strasse) and initially acquired a 20,000 m² plot of land from the Friedrichsgabe community.

Carl Kiesow thus realized his great dream: In

1968 the 'Carl Kiesow car scrapping' was founded.

Here in Friedrichsgabe, (in today's Norderstedt), a large piece of Hamburg history was scrapped: 80 percent of all discarded underground trains and trams ended up here to be scrapped. In doing so, Carl Kiesow used a “trick” that would be unthinkable today: When the wind was blowing north, the trams were simply set on fire until they were completely burned out and only the valuable scrap metal remained.

Gradually, Carl Kiesow's sons also began to work in the company: first Martin Kiesow in 1972, then the five years younger son Mario Kiesow in 1974.

Business was good. Little by little, more properties were added and in 1978 Carl Kiesow handed over management of the company to his two sons.

In 1986 they laid the foundation for lasting success with the complex fortification of the square.

A special concrete was laid on the entire site so that waste oil could no longer penetrate the soil - an investment of millions, but a huge step forward!

Via the surface drainage, the rainwater is fed through the own sewer system into the oil separator and filtered there. Only clean water is returned to nature.

In 1998, KIESOW was one of the first companies in Germany to be certified according to the scrap car scrapping and was voted 'Car Recycler of the Year'.

Today the family company presents itself with its 68,000 square meters as the largest German car recycling company. KIESOW owes this to consistent investment in modern environmental technology and the most modern warehousing and, above all, in its employees who regularly take part in training courses. They are happy to pass on their in-depth specialist knowledge to you.
