PELGER The company was originally founded as the company Pelger in Rotterdam, the Netherlands on 1st october 1919. Due to the DC-supply network in the city at that time, the company was started as a repair work shop to service DC-motors . On 1st march 1936 a motor and centrifugal fan program was taken over from the company Heincke Schuitema Musselkanaal (HSM).
