Sounds more like this is due to the last name of the founder (Dieter Assmann, German), not a contraction at all. https://www.assmann.com/en/about-assmann/ <https://www.assmann.com/en/about-assmann/> http://www.assmann-wsw.com/us/en/the-company/usa/ <http://www.assmann-wsw.com/us/en/the-company/usa/> David

Obligatory Rodney Dangerfield quote - "People always ask me if I'm a leg man, a breast man or an ass man. I figure I must be an ass man. People yell at me all the time - YOU'RE AN ASS MAN!" As for the company name I'd bet it is a contraction of Assembly and Manufacturing. Sorry to disappoint everyone.

Im trying to figure out where the 'Assman' prefix came from? I was expecting some sort of Seinfeld reference. 😊
