In the course of industrialization in 1869, the engineer founded the Commandit company for pumps and machine manufacturing W. Garvens together with his brother Wilhelm Garvens in Wülfel , at that time an independent town outside Hanover and later a district of the Lower Saxony state capital . Both together led the family business - which was continued in the 21st century as Garvens-Waagen-Fabrik in the form of a GmbH - soon as a stock corporation into an internationally operating company.

As early as 1902, Emil Garvens had an office address on the ground floor of Fundstrasse 1 in Hanover as chairman of the Northwest Iron and Steel Employer's Liability Insurance Association .

In the late founding period of the German Empire , Emil Garvens received approval from the Imperial Supervisory Office for Private Insurance on March 19, 1904 to establish the liability association of the German iron and steel industry in the form of a mutual insurance association of what later became the HDI liability association of German industry .

In 1914 Garvens joined the supervisory board of the foundry Sächsische Metall-Briquett-Werke , which was run as a GmbH in Chemnitz , and which at about the same time set up new branches in Berlin and Hanover.

After the First World War , at the beginning of the Weimar Republic around 1919 , the balance manufacturer became an associate member of the Reichsanstalt für Maß und WEIGHT (RMG), but could only belong to it for around two years until his death on May 27, 1921.
