history
The Franken Maxit GmbH was founded in 1978 by the lime works Mathis from Merdingen in the former district of Freiburg and has been in existence since 1908 family Johann Bergmann GmbH & Co. KG. based in the Franconian town of Azendorf. Mathis had been selling machine plasters based on lime - gypsum and lime - cement under the brand name Maxit since 1968 . A dry mortar plant was built under the roof of Franken Maxit Mauermörtel GmbH & Co. , which has been refining and marketing the raw materials mined by Bergmann since 1978. The headquarters of Franken Maxit is located on the premises of the Kalkwerk Johann Bergmann GmbH & Co. KG in Azendorf.
After the reunification , in 1990 Franken Maxit took over the VEB Gipswerk in Krölpa and its 75 employees from the Treuhandanstalt and founded maxit Baustoffwerke GmbH. This company was expanded to over 250 employees through investments in the Krölpa location, the construction of new dry mortar plants in Leupahn (1993) and Thörey (1994) and the takeover of the Dresden dry mortar plant from HeidelbergCement (2000).
Franken Maxit himself acquired the dry mortar plant Elsendorf near Schlüsselfeld in 1993 and built another one in Niederwinkling in 1996 . In 2000, an independent dry mortar company was founded in the Czech Republic and in the following year the Plattling dry mortar plant , which was previously owned by HeidelbergCement, was taken over. In 2001 a branch in Nuremberg followed.
In 1999 half of the shares in Franken Maxit changed hands together with the Mathis heirs group and were sold to HeidelbergCement. In the years that followed, HeidelbergCement continued to develop the group of companies internationally and merged it with other parts of the company to form the "Maxit Group", which operates throughout Europe. In the summer of 2007, this Maxit Group, together with the shares in Franken Maxit, was sold to the French company Compagnie de Saint-Gobain for 2.125 billion euros .
The shares of the limited partnership Franken Maxit Mauermörtel GmbH & Co. are now divided between the general partner Franken Maxit GmbH and the two limited partners Johann Bergmann GmbH & Co. and Saint-Gobain Weber GmbH . Therefore, half of Franken Maxit is still owned by the family business Johann Bergmann GmbH & Co. KG and was not sold with the Maxit Group.
The Franken Maxit GmbH and Maxit Baustoffwerke GmbH with its subsidiaries in Germany and the Czech Republic will continue to operate under the brand "maxit".
