T.H. Bergmann & Company

T.H. Bergmann & Company is a historic Hamburg‑based manufacturer of pinball and coin‑operated machines best known for mid‑century electro‑mechanical arcade tables and a strong presence in the European pinball market during the 1930s–1960s era, with a catalog of classic EM titles and arcade hardware for operators and collectors alike. Founded by Thomas H. Bergmann, the company built a reputation for robust mechanical design and themed playfields that now make Bergmann machines prized pieces for vintage pinball restorers and collectors. One notable title is Atlanticus, a nautical‑themed electro‑mechanical pinball released in April 1960 that exemplifies Bergmann’s later EM work and period styling. Although T.H. Bergmann & Company no longer produces new games, its Atlanticus and other Bergmann pinball machines remain important to pinball history and actively traded within the restoration and vintage arcade communities.
