Description: The ironmongery, sport and fishing-tackle business begun in 1875 by the brothers Oskar and Fritz Ziegenspeck soon began to produce its own brandof fishingtackles, and in 1902 it began its assault on the European market under the name "German fishing equipment manufacturers” the initials of which in German are D.A.M. In 1909, just as Fritz Ziegenspeck was retiring, Otto Kuntze joined the company which at that time already had extensive business connections in England, France, America, Russia and Japan. With great skill Otto Kuntze succeeded not only in bringing the company successfully through the First World War but together with the help of his son Hellmuth, he expanded the business. Already 1937 saw the production of the "Pocket Catalogue for Everyman”, and together with the production of the first fixed-spool „Quick“ reel and the world innovation that was Damyl line (both existing brand names today ) D.A.M began to set the international standard.
