With the formation of Strotmann in 1968, Ms Marlies Strotmann lay the foundation for today's Stegemann Lohnverpackung & Logistischer Service e.K. Back then, everything started with the acquisition of packaging orders and the awarding of contracts to the former state hospitals in Münster and Lengerich.

Six years later the company managed to acquire the first key account — a globally-operating US group from the field of personal care products and hygiene — for the packaging of school kits. It was only one year later that Mr Gottfried Strotmann took over the company.

In 1986 the company's production and warehouse space at Hüttruper Straße at Greven comprised an area of 800 m² and 10 production workers. It was in this year that the first commercial clerk – Mr Reinhard Stegemann – joined the company.

Only a few months later, Strotmann won over another globally-operating US group — the first one from the field of pharmaceutical products — as their customer. At the same time, the company was granted the manufacturing licence pursuant to Section13 Pharmaceutical Products Act by the Münster regional government.

After its entry in the commercial register in 1988 the company continued its further expansion. In the years 1989 to 1993 two additional warehouses at Greven were rented and the production and storage area increased to 2,500 m². At this time, the company's workforce was already 50 employees.

In 1994 the three production plants were merged and centralized at the new site Up’n Nien Esch 14 at Greven with a production and storage area of 5,000 m².

Four years later Mr Gottfried Strotmann died.

In 1999 Mr Reinhard Stegemann bought the company and rebranded it. In the following years three additional warehouse buildings were rented at Greven and the total area including external warehouses increased to 7,500 m². During this time, the workforce expanded to 100.

In 2007 the three external warehouses of the individual company were centralized into a production building and warehouse with a size of 5,200 m² at Hansaring, Greven. So now the two sites, Up’n Nien Esch and Hansaring, provide a total space of 10,200 m² for approx. 120 employees. Two years later the fronts and windows of the production hall and the administration building at Up’n Nien Esch were completely renovated, including the fencing of the premises.

In 2010 the company obtained certification in compliance with EN ISO 13485 Medical Products and DIN EN ISO 9001 Quality Management. In the years 2013 and 2016 these certificates were successfully renewed.

In 2014 and 2017 the company received the ethics audit certification "SEDEX Members Ethical Trade Audit 4 Pillars Protocol", SMETA 4 Pillar.
In 2017 the warehouse space was expanded by a further 1,000 m² to 11,200 m². At present, the company's workforce is approx. 150 employees. One year later the successful conversion to DIN EN ISO 13485 took place: 2016 Medical Products and DIN EN ISO 9001: 2015 Quality Management.

The introduction of the serialization of pharmaceuticals in 2019 was followed by first successful orders.

In 2023, the company Stegemann Lohnverpackung & Logistischer Service E.K. was renamed Stegemann GmbH & Co. KG in the course of the generation change.
