Marienthal wool goods factories
Under the name of Wollwarenfabriken Marienthal , the Hanoverian merchant Georg Wessel (1791–1873) began manufacturing woolen fabrics and so-called Kidderminster carpets in Afferde near Hameln in 1831 . This made the textile industry at home in Hameln.
In 1901 the traditional company was merged with the Albert Steinberg / Neumünster company to form the United Woolen Goods Factory Marienthal & Albert Steinberg GmbH (VWM). The two company partners Ernst Tenhaf († 1935) and the Jewish factory owner Iwan Steinberg († 1938) developed the company into one of the leading German textile factories. In the course of the " Aryanization ", Steinberg had to sell his share to the carpet manufacturer Mertens and fled via Hanover to Meran , where he died.
The needle punch has been produced exclusively for the automotive industry since 1975. VWM has belonged to the Sommer Allibert group since 1988 and thus later to the automotive supplier Faurecia and, as part of Faurecia Interior Systems GmbH, produced needle felts for almost all automotive companies with around 150 employees. In 2007, most of the jobs except for 34 in the forming area were relocated to the Mouzon site in France and the remaining operations acquired by Stankiewicz in March 2008 were closed at the end of 2009.
