Company history

In 1866, J. Hannig founded an oven factory on the Westerplatte peninsula near Gdansk , which was transferred to the inventor Karl Francisci in 1873 and he expanded it to include a chamotte factory . After the change of ownership in 1904 to Friedrich Mehlhorn and the mine owner and businessman Moritz Friedrich Weißenberg , Max Silberberg became co-owner of the company after Friedrich Mehlhorn left the company.

The company became a member of the Association of Magnesite Works . The association was an international interest group of companies that were active in chemistry or blast furnace construction and that was founded on October 1, 1924 and whose effectiveness was postponed to February 1, 1925. This made renegotiations with members of the cartel necessary.
