history
In 1926 Jacob Berg founded Jacob Berg GmbH & Co for the production of tin cans . The later owner Adam Krautkrämer was 1945-1946 President of the IHK for Rheinhessen . In 1948, Krautkrämer had made a significant contribution to financing the first German Catholic Day in Mainz. Krautkrämer, member of the “Great Mainz Carnival Committee”, used the tool with which two years earlier the shields for the first post-war Catholic day were made to introduce the first Mainz train plaque. The first motif was the bajazz with a lantern and a quirk . Since 1987 the company has concentrated on the production of plastic closures , the sale of which today accounts for 100 percent of sales.
In 1996 the company was renamed BERICAP.
