Company history   A piece of background information... ...on the property acquisition in Bensheim, and on the establishment of the silk-screen printing company. The departement of forestry reclaimed the nicely renoverted forester's lodge in 1985. We had to move, and the new location in Bensheim did not appear to be ideal. It seemed to be too large, our faithful assistants, the students from the Institute of Technology were too far away, and the 100% financing hurt a lot. The silk-screen printing shop not only saved us, but turned out to be so successful, that in 1991 we were able to take over our competitor. The exceeding sales after Germany's reunification were just a flash in the pan which we watched through "sun glasses".
