The family business FOOKE
Tradition & innovation since 1904
The origins of the family business founded by Heinrich Fooke date back to 1904. Starting with a bicycle business including its own forge for the production of signs and fences, the business shifted completely to the construction of machines when Johannes Fooke took over in 1930. After the reconstruction of the company in the post-war years, Heinrich Fooke took over the management in 1956. From the church chandelier to the fish stick breading machine to the modern milling machine, he developed and built countless items of equipment and machinery.
In 1994, he handed over the management of the family business to his 32-year-old son Johannes. In the years that followed, the contract structure had changed considerably, the projects became more complex and new business areas emerged. Today, the aircraft industry and rail transport are fixed components of the range of services.
Hendrik Fooke has been part of the family business since 2017 and is responsible for sales and business field development. He joined the management team in January 2024 and manages the family business together with his father Johannes Fooke.
