history

Enamel picture of the “Fountain of Youth in Socialism” by Ronald Paris

The sign factory in Beutha was founded in 1953 as a state-owned company of the GDR in a former stocking factory in Beutha . The first products of VEB Schilderwerk Beutha were enamel signs for the Deutsche Reichsbahn , level slats for shipping and street name signs . This was followed by reflective signs made of aluminum for road traffic. At times, the factory in the GDR was the sole manufacturer of enamel signs. In the 1970s, the Schilderwerk built facades for the teacher's house in Berlin and the consumer department store in Leipzig; Parts of the Berlin World Clock also come from the sign factory. The artist Ronald Paris created the enamel picture for the “Fountain of Youth in Socialism” in Beutha. In 1972 the plant in Neustadt in Saxony was incorporated . VEB Schilderwerk Beutha also temporarily printed the wings of Christmas pyramids and sprayed radio housings as part of the formation of a combine .

As a result of the political change , the company was initially managed by the Treuhand and converted into a GmbH in 1991 . Karl-Heinz Kieß took over the management of the company, whose children Jana and Tim Kieß are now managing directors of Schilderwerk Beutha GmbH. Since then the company has opened further branches in Berlin-Schöneberg , Chemnitz and Nuremberg . The main factory in Beutha has been expanded and renovated several times in its history. A new assembly hall was built in 2002. Since 2009, the company has also been producing the traffic sign foils for signs using digital printing technology. The process complements the classic screen printing process . In 2011 Schilderwerk Beutha GmbH was honored with the Grand Prize for Medium-Sized Enterprises. Since 2012 the company has been participating in the European project Vision Zero with the Turtle Initiative , which aims to reduce the number of road deaths. Part of this initiative are regular company tours for groups of kindergarten and school children in the company's production halls. In newspaper articles, the Beutha sign factory was repeatedly perceived as a manufacturer of tourist information boards . The company produced brown and white boards advertising the Lusatian Lake District , the garden city of Marga and the city of Wurzen . In the summer of 2018, more than 60 tablets were made for the Jürgen Huss incense candle production , which were set up on property by private individuals in Neudorf . The Huss figure Karzl shows the center of Neudorf on the signs.

Today, the Beutha sign factory produces, among other things, street signs in all sizes and variants, wayfinding systems for Deutsche Bahn , shipping signs , LED signs and individual information boards and special signs for the public, commercial and private sectors.
