Dolmar GmbH is the oldest manufacturer of portable gasoline chainsaws and is headquartered in Hamburg. The company founder, Emil Lerp, developed in 1927 the "type A" saw which weighed 125 lbs and required two men to operate. It was tested on Mount Dolmar in the Thüringer forest and the company took its name from the test site. In 1991 the company was acquired by Japanese tool manufacturer Makita.
