from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Gottfried Max Polysius (born March 19, 1870 in Dessau ; † June 18, 1932 there ) was a German industrialist .

Max Polysius was the second son of Gottfried Polysius and Louise Amelang. He married Aurelie Hahne, daughter of the factory owner Carl Hahne, in Hahnemühle on January 6, 1876 . Both had three children. Polysius studied mechanical engineering in Munich and received from the (today's) Technical University of Braunschweig the title of Dr.-Ing. awarded on an honorary basis. Together with his brother Otto Polysius, from July 1, 1896, he managed his father's factory, which has since been converted into a general partnership, employing almost 200 workers at the time. As early as 1893, Max Polysius was in charge of a stand at the world exhibition in Chicago. Cement plants for export were presented there for the first time and Polysius established business relationships with North and South America, Japan, China and the Dutch East Indies. In Chicago he made first contact with Carl Prüssing . He later founded the kiln plant in Hamburg with the Polysius company as the main participant and others. The brothers Otto and Max Polysius, with their different talents, developed the company into a global company. On July 1, 1928, the oHG was converted into a stock corporation. The first supervisory board consisted of the brothers Otto and Max Polysius and the lawyer Dr. Georg Eschtruth.
