Düperthal Sicherheitstechnik GmbH & Co. KG is a German manufacturer of safety storage cabinets and complete system solutions for the storage of hazardous substances. The headquarters are in Karlstein am Main in Bavaria. The company is part of the Hanning Group, which is based in Oerlinghausen.

History
In 1953, Willy Düperthal founded a company in Karlstein for the manufacture of office furniture. In the early 1970s, the company BASF was looking for a cabinet to store flammable liquids. As no suitable cabinet was available on the market, Düperthal was asked for advice. At that time, Düperthal was the supplier of office furniture to BASF and had already developed a self-extinguishing waste-paper basket. Following this request, Düperthal drafted a profile of requirements, which would later form part of the first German standard for safety storage cabinets (DIN 12925). A cabinet was built that closed automatically in case of fire and stayed closed for a certain period of time. This cabinet was patented and presented to the public in 1972.

As a result, Willy Düperthal founded Düperthal Sicherheitstechnik GmbH in November 1972 and started manufacturing and distributing cabinets and containers for the safe storage of ignitable substances.

In 2005, the company became part of the Hanning Elektro-Werke Beteiligungs GmbH. As a consequence, the Düperthal Beteiligungs GmbH was founded in Oerlinghausen.

Since 2009, the company has additionally laid a focus on developping not only storage cabinets, but certified system solutions for the storage and handling of hazardous substances, including filling, transferring and disposal of flammable liquids. With all developments, the current standards and national legal requirements are taken into account.
