Continentale Isola Werke AG was founded in Düren in 1912. After Rütgerswerke AG acquired a stake in Isola in 1954, basic material production with copper-clad hard paper laminates began in 1956. In 1963, production was expanded to include copper-clad epoxy hard fabric laminate production. From 1984 several subsidiaries were founded, the first being Isola France. Production of the high-performance base material began in 1992. The Texas Pacific Group and Redfern Partners from the USA took over Isola AG in 2004. Since then, the company has been headquartered in the USA at the Chandler (Phoenix, Arizona) site.
