History
Paul Pietzschke was founded by its namesake in 1889 in Hamburg, Germany. Its first trademark was registered in the German imperial patent office on February 24, 1898, under the name Paul Pietzschke. Its logo showed the letter “P” and a newt tied up in chains, with its mouth closed with a padlock, indicating that Pietzschke products protected from the harsh effects of rough sea water, even under the water line. In 1998 Mr. Paul Peter Pietzschke, from the third generation of the family-owned enterprise, transferred the company to Mr. Ralf Beckedorf. NautiChem was introduced as the company’s new trademark in 2001 and since then is used in the company’s current name, Paul Pietzschke NautiChem.
