Dolmar GmbH is the oldest manufacturer of portable benzine-driven chain saws. The headquarters are located in Hamburg. The founder of the company, Emil Lerp, developed the "Type A" chain saw in 1927, a saw that was to be operated by two persons. The chain saw was tested on Mount Dolmar in the Thuringian Forest. The company took the name of this place. In 1975, Fichtel & amp; Sachs holds the majority interest, after which the name was changed to Sachs Dolmar. In 1987 Mannesmann Fichtel & amp; Sachs about and thus Sachs-Dolmar. In 1991, the company became a 100% subsidiary of the Japanese company Makita.
The Makita range was expanded with garden and park products and the brand Dolmar remained. In the Netherlands, Vledder in Huissen has distributed the brand Dolmar for half a century. In October 2007, Makita Nederland BV (formerly Makita Benelux B.V.) acquired Dolmar's import company from Vledder and Vledder is wholesaler of this brand from then on. Externe link
