OUR HISTORY
Amefa – A Story of Dedication to Cutlery
In 1931, Eugen Hollaender founded Apeldoornse Messenfabriek, initially with the goal of manufacturing safety razors. However, the focus soon shifted to producing fine table cutlery and kitchen knives.
After World War II, Amefa focused on continuous growth and quickly became a leading cutlery supplier in Europe. Our commitment to innovation and high quality kept driving us forward.
In the 1980s, we revolutionized the industry with groundbreaking products. Since the 1990s, our cutlery has been available in major European retail chains, and our expansion into Asia made us one of Europe’s most significant cutlery manufacturers.
Today, more than 90 years after our founding, we remain headquartered in Apeldoorn. Our dedicated team continues to distribute our products to over 65 countries worldwide.
