| Die SIEDLE-GALVANIK in Herzberg |
Company history |
2007 | SIEDLE acquires the electroplating plant and important building parts from GROHE AG.
2006 | Grohe AG closes the factory in Herzberg.
2004 | Texas Pacific Group (TPG) and Credit Suisse First Boston Private Equity take over Grohe AG.
1999 | BC-Partner takes over Friedrich Grohe AG.
1998 | The clearly arranged structure, flexibility of the production as well as the reliability has convinced Friedrich Grohe AG to build up a GROHEART Center of Excellence at the location in Herzberg. In 1999, a development department is established.
1997 | The production of one hand mixer taps commences.
1996 | The production of plastic parts is completely discontinued.
1994 | The "Herzberger Armaturen GmbH" has developed into a recognised, equitable and competitive factory within the GROHE-Group. The workforce generates a sales volume of more than 80 million DEM. The value of goods is raised to almost 50 million DEM.
1993 | The new development plant is inaugurated. The factory canteen, for the first time operated in the 1950s, is reconstructed. The company counts 298 employees.
1992 | On February 15, the inauguration of the new electroplating plant, at that time state-of-the-art in Europe, takes place, attended by the prime minister of Brandenburg, Dr. Manfred Stolpe.
1991 | On Januar 1st, the firm has completely been taken over by the "Friedrich Grohe GmbH & Co". The workforce is reduced to 260 employees to remain competitive. A foundry is built up, the turning shop receives CNC machines.
1990 | The corporate management intends to change the production profile and sales by offering a new brass product range for bathrooms and kitchen under the trade name "Herzberger Armaturen GmbH". The need for a strong co-operation partner is obvious, and "Friedrich Grohe GmbH & Co." is to take over this role.
1989 | Due to the German reunification, the company with its 569 employees faces its dissolution. The commercial market for plastic fittings has abruptly collapsed.
1971 | A serious fire in the injection moulding department destroys the entire hall in which the machines used for injection moulding are located.
1964 | Already 74% of the produced fittings consist of plastic.
1955 | A list of banned non-ferrous metals, issued by the government, obliges the company to add plastic fittings to its product range. The raw material plastic is available in great quantities and very cost-effective. Thus, the great demand of sanitary appliances within the housing programmes in former East Germany, for example in the high density housing areas, can be satisfied.
1948 | With the assignment to the VVB (Vereinigung Volkeigener Betriebe), the company is renamed to "VEB Sanar Armaturenfabrik Herzberg/Elster". The number of machines increases and in 1948, the workforce consists of 93 employees.
1946 | The reconstruction of the production facilities commences, and the company again manufactures sanitary appliances made from brass. On order of the soviet military government, the company is conveyed into public property and renamed to "Industrie-Werke Sachsen-Anhalt".
1945 | Because of the end of the Second World War and the meeting of the American and Russian forces on April 25, 1945 in Torgau, the company Marx und Mosch?tz is dissolved. The factory is completely dismounted. Due to the lack of material and required machinery, the employees bring along their own tools for manufacturing.
1930 | From 1935 onwards, following the establishment of a limited partnership, one third of the product range consists of munitions.
1927 | After the World War and the monetary reform in 1924 business is stabilising. Foundation of subsidiaries in Hannover, Leipzig and Torgau.
1900 | Foundation of the braziery and fitting plant by Carl Marx and Otto Moschuetz on April 18, in Herzberg. From 1905 onwards - led by Wilhelm Marx as sole owner - the promising development of the company continues and already in 1906, the company employs approx. 130 workers. They mainly manufacture water fittings, gas fittings and steam fittings.
