history
In the DDR
The forerunner of the combine was VVB TAKRAF , which existed until 1980 and which carried the name VVB Bergbau-Ausätze und Förderanlagen until 1965 . The TAKRAF products were also marketed in other countries under a uniform logo from the name.
The VEB Verlade- und Transportanlagenbau (VTA) Leipzig became TAKRAF's parent company and headquarters of the combine management in 1985 . This company emerged in the process of nationalization from the private company Bleichert Transportanlagen GmbH and SAG Bleichert Leipzig , which was handed over to the GDR in January 1954. The company initially operated as VEB Bleichert Transportanlagenfabrik , in 1955 as VEB Schwermaschinenbau Verlade- und Transportanlagen (VTA) Leipzig and finally in 1973 as VEB Verlade- und Transportanlagen Leipzig Paul Fröhlich .
