The production portfolio included taps and valves for chemical purposes, homogeneously leaded vessels and snakes, which were of particular importance in sulfuric acid production in this era , and complete high-pressure steam line systems, but also, for example, mine lamps .

Presumably this refers to Ludwig Reuling, but it could also be his brother, about whom nothing else is known.
