history
Founded on January 1st, 1898 as KG Erste Deutsche Dampflebertranfabrik Oscar Neynaber u. Co .; In 1902 the head office was relocated to Loxstedt and traded as KG Oscar Neynaber & Co. with the addition of 8 fish steamer owners. From June 20, 1908, Neynaber was a stock corporation ("First German steam liver oil factory Oskar Neynaber & Co. AG, Geestemünde "), registered on July 8, 1908. After 1908 there was also a mutual participation with J. Speneer Ltd. Comp. in Aberdeen, whose 25% stake in this company was auctioned in London in December 1914; the Speneer company remained a shareholder in the company. The Loxstedt factory was leased to Deutsche Myrabola-Werke for 25 years in 1923: After its collapse in 1929, the factory was taken over again under its own management. After the Loxstedt factory was resumed, a distillation and press facility for animal fats and an extraction facility for technical oils and fats were built in 1929/30. The production of fish meal was temporarily given up at that time. Major shareholder (1943): Dir. Oscar Neynaber, Wesermünde (35%). After the Second World War , the company was continued as Neynaber Chemie GmbH based in Loxstedt ( Bremerhaven ). From 1968 the company belonged to Henkel and was spun off as a 100% Henkel subsidiary in 1999 with the establishment of Cognis Deutschland GmbH . In 2001, the subsidiary was sold to three foreign investors for 2.5 billion euros: to Fund Permira, which works as an asset manager, to investment bank Goldman Sachs and to financial investor Schroder Ventures Life Sciences. The owners financed the purchase heavily through debts and passed this on to Cognis. In June 2010, the previous owners sold the company to Ludwigshafen-based BASF SE. On November 26, 2011, a large fire broke out on the company premises in Loxstedt.
