In 1964, Dipl.-Ing. Rüdiger Pommerening founds the one-man business "Pommerening Armaturenwerk" in Wallensen. The first developed products are expansion compensators for heating systems. From 1982 on, the distribution network operating under the name PAW is extended, then the company moves from Wallensen to Hameln in 1992.
The move to the "Pied Piper Town" Hameln changes the location of the company PAW, allowing to increase the production capacity. In the course of the expansion, the company's name changes into PAW GmbH & Co. KG.
