history
In the year 1595 the company "Ilsenburger Kupferhammer" was founded in Ilsenburg, which dealt with the production of copper sheets, bowls and kettles. With the beginning of the industrial revolution in Germany , Ilsenburger Grobblech experienced an upswing. As early as 1838, when the "Kupferhammerbetriebsgesellschaft Halberstadt" was founded as a stock corporation, an expansion of the company was initiated. The next expansion followed in 1841 with the commissioning of a water-powered rolling mill for copper and lead.
The company responded in 1860 to the beginning in the mid-19th century rapid expansion of the railway - rail network and the associated increased demand for steam locomotives with Germany's first production of fire rifles from copper for the locomotive. The first refining furnace was put into operation in 1864 and the company expanded in the following years by commissioning additional rolling mills.
In 1891 the Kupferhammerbetriebsgesellschaft was dissolved and continued as "Kupferwerk Ilsenburg" until the company merged with the brass works Eberswalde in 1906 to form "Hirsch Kupfer- und Messingwerke AG" based in Berlin . At the same time, the factory facilities were expanded further. With the commissioning of new production facilities in 1920, the company rose to become one of the most modern copper works in Europe.
In 1932 there was a restructuring when the "Hirsch Kupfer- und Messingwerke AG" created in 1906 was split up and Ilsenburg was incorporated into the newly founded "Berlin-Ilsenburger Metallwerke AG". Just two years later, the "Kupferwerk Ilsenburg AG" was founded.
From 1934 until the end of the Second World War , the company dealt with the recovery of copper from scrap, the production of fire boxes made of steel and the first test rolling of steel.
In 1945 the “Kupferwerk Ilsenburg AG” was confiscated by the state and incorporated into the “Industriewerke Sachsen-Anhalt”.
When in 1948 the nationally owned enterprises (VEB) emerged as the basic economic units of the central administration economy in the Soviet occupation zone , the company became the "VEB Kupfer- und Blechwalzwerk Ilsenburg". The rolling mills were expanded and the rolling of heavy steel plates became part of the regular production program.
After an expansion of the production capacities in 1954, ten years later Ilsenburg was incorporated into the "VEB Stahl- und Walzwerk Brandenburg", initially as a part of the company, and from 1969 as a branch. In 1967 the business field “copper” was transferred to the VEB Mansfeld Kombinat Wilhelm Pieck Eisleben and the remaining areas were intensified by modernizing existing and commissioning additional production facilities.
In 1989 "Walzwerk Ilsenburg GmbH" was founded, which was privatized after German reunification , acquired in 1992 by "Preussag Stahl AG" and merged with it in 1995. In 1998 “Preussag Stahl AG” was spun off from the group and has been operating as the listed “Salzgitter AG” ever since. From 1995 the group has had the heavy plate product area , which was spun off in 2001 into "Ilsenburger Grobblech GmbH". Since then the company has been a subsidiary of "Salzgitter AG".
In 2018 "Ilsenburger Grobblech GmbH" announced that "Salzgitter AG" had approved an investment of € 150 million for the Ilsenburg location. "Salzgitter AG" describes this as the largest single investment in the company's history. Since the takeover of the site by "Salzgitter AG", a total of € 200 million has been invested. The current investment will be used for a new heat treatment line, which should be operational in early 2020. The investment ensures the continued existence of "Ilsenburger Grobblech GmbH" in the long term and is intended to enable a significantly higher market share for high-quality heavy plate grades.
At the end of 2019, Ilsenburger Grobblech GmbH and other steel manufacturers were fined by the Federal Cartel Office for illegal price fixing between 2002 and 2016.
