HODT corrosion protection
Alfred HODT
A family company with tradition
When Alfred Hodt established his company of the same name in 1913, he laid the foundation for a long-lasting story of success which continues until today. Despite the fact that the enterprise had to start from the scratch again and again – as a result of two world wars -, it is led already in the fourth generation and counts with good reason to one of the important companies of the corrosion prevention sector.
This is due above all to the company founder’s grandchild, Jürgen Wulff-Hodt, who decided in 1963 to overtake the family business of his grandfather and who understood to rebuild the company with great dedication and skill.
First in the traditional business importing and exporting Fishoils as weil as animal and vegetable oils and fats; then in 1975 he became the sole distributor for Europe for the corrosion product, FLUID FILM, from the Eureka Chemical Company, San Francisco.
In the meantime, the fourth generation is co-owner of both companies. At the head of the “Korrosionsschutz GmbH” has been for many years already the eldest son, Detlef Wulff-Hodt, who, following the tradition, is working at full speed and with great success.
