Built in 1861 as a forge, the traditional connection between a village forge and farm machinery repair and trade gave close contact to famers. The specialization in equipment and machinery for harvesting potatoes was probably a result of the geographical location. At the time, there were large potato growing areas in Holland and  Lower Saxony . The continuous improvement of the products and the extension of the product range led to a concentration of expertise at the location in Damme. The on-going investment in research and development with its highly qualified staff lead the company to the position of world market leader for potato technology for field and storage.

Over several decades the company established itself as a specialist in potato technology for field and storage. Beginning with the technology for cultivation in the spring and ending with the harvest and handling equipment in the autumn.

Grimme is one of the largest employers around Damme with over 1000 permanent full-time staff.
