Holm & Molzen was a German company principally known for ship management between 1890 and 1932.[1]
History
In the early 19th century the Holm family began to trade in the Flensburg area of Germany. In 1850 they expanded into coal.[1]
In 1865 they formed an alliance with Herman Molzen, hence the company name.[1]
From 1890 to 1932 they were active in ship management. during this period they ordered several ships from the Flensburger Schiffbau-Gesellschaft and others.[1]
The company ceased ship management in 1932 due to the loss of the coal trade following World War I.[1]
A history was published for the company's centenary in 1965.[2]
