AEROMARINE KLEMM CORP. was founded in Delaware on June 1, 1928 for the purpose of manufacturing Klemm L25 aircraft in the United States. This was primarily to attract American customers who really had plenty of funds in the late 1930s, and so in partnership with Aeromarine Plane & Starter Co. the above company was formed.
