In 1619 a powder mill was operated on both sides of the Worble in Worblaufen. The plant, renamed the Eidgenössische Kriegspulverfabrik Worblaufen , was the only one to produce raw celluloid in Switzerland. In 1919 the federal government relocated the company to Wimmis and the celluloid production plant was sold to the newly founded Worbla company in 1923. Worbla AG became Gurit-Worbla AG in 1973 and part of the Gurit-Heberlein group . Starting in 2000, the plant was restructured to refine transparent plastic surfaces for the optical sector.

Worbla AG - step building from 1925

In a public vote in 2018, the new trains of the Bern – Solothurn RBS regional traffic were given the name “Worbla” based on Worblaufen, Worble and the former Worbla AG.
