The origins of Petersime date back to the year 1912, when Mr Petersime invented the very first electric incubator in the United States.

In the 1920s, the first models of this incubator were produced in the US and exported to Europe.

In 1949, an agreement was concluded between the American exporter and Mr Bohez from Olsene,
Belgian who started producing the incubators under license. 1949 saw the establishment of the Belgian company Petersime NV.  The year 1968 marked the end of this license agreement.

The name “Petersime” was kept and soon became a symbol of leadership in the European markets and in the Middle East. In 1984, the company was taken over by an international investment group.
 
Now headquartered in Belgium with offices in Brazil, China, Russia, Malaysia and India.
