Description
Heimotion, known as Heimo until 2010, specialised in producing animatronics but also designed dark rides and other rides.
History
Heimo was founded by Heinz Mordelt (thus its name) and his wife Anneliese in 1945, selling dolls. In 1959, the company created its first fairytale forest and kept growing. In 2010, Heimo went bankrupt, but one of the employees (Michael Friedrich) managed to find invetsors to continue business under the name Heimotion. Eventually, they again needed to cease business from 31 July 2022.
