history

Detag (Deutsche Tafelglas AG) shares of RM 1000 on June 16, 1932

The Detag was established in June 1932 by merger of Fürth Plate, Salin- and mirrors factories AG with the glass factory Crengeldanz AG in Witten and the union Kunz Dorfer works in Kunz village at Sorau . At the same time, the merged company took over shares in the Vereinigte Vopelius'sche and Wentzel'sche Glashütten GmbH in Sulzbach / Saar . The share capital was 6 million Reichsmarks (RM). The companies and plants in Kunzendorf and Sulzbach were brought in by Delog ( German Libbey-Owens-Society for mechanical glass production ) in Gelsenkirchen-Rotthausen , which established the Compagnie Internationale pour la Fabrication Mecanique du Verre in Brussels and the mining company Dahlbusch in Gelsenkirchen-Rotthausen was. This explains that part of the Detag share capital was also in Belgian and French ownership - represented on the Supervisory Board by General Director Lucien Delloye (Paris), engineer Albert Langlois (Paris), general director Tony Perrin (Paris) and engineer Maurice Hulin (Brussels) . For the financial year 1937 “the majority of the share capital was returned to German ownership”, the corresponding share was sold to the Vopelius-Wentzel shareholder group and to Deutsche Bank under pressure from the Reich Ministry of Economics . In the autumn of 1940 the share capital was increased to 7.5 million RM and "corrected" to 12 million RM in April 1942 as a result of the Dividend Tax Ordinance (DAV) (of June 12, 1941). The company was involved in various glass manufacturing companies and several sales companies.

After the Second World War, Detag lost the factory in Kunzendorf, Poland, and took over the safety glass factory of SIGLA GmbH in Wernberg (Upper Palatinate) . The mining company Dahlbusch gradually acquired the majority of shares in Detag, which led to the 1970 merger of Delog and Detag to form Flachglas AG . Flachglas AG was taken over by Pilkington in 1980 ; this company in turn was transferred to Nippon Sheet Glass (NSG) in 2006 .
