　　1851–1896：“First German platinum melting house”

a pharmacist and platinum

　　The father of today’s global company was Wilhelm Carl Heraeus, a pharmacist and chemist who took over his father’s pharmacy in Hanau, Germany, in 1851. At the time, platinum was in high demand for jewelry making. But platinum posed a major challenge for goldsmiths: It had to be forged in a white-hot state, because it is extremely hard and has a melting point of 1769 degrees Celsius.

　　Wilhelm Carl Heraeus, who worked with local goldsmiths, was familiar with the problem—and he found a solution. After extensive attempts, he succeeded in melting two kilograms of platinum in an oxyhydrogen gas flame. The “first German platinum melting house” was born, and success was not far off. The young entrepreneur's customers soon included goldsmith shops and jewelry factories around the world, as well as dental factories, chemical laboratories, and companies in numerous other industrial sectors. Wilhelm Carl Heraeus continued to experiment with platinum, and found one new application after another for the precious metal.

　　By the end of the 19th century, Dr. Wilhelm Heraeus and Heinrich Heraeus had inherited their father’s business, and W. C. Heraeus relocated to new facilities just outside the city gates of Hanau together with 40 employees. At that time, around 1,000 kilograms of platinum were melted and processed each year.

　　1890–1912：Buoyed by the spirit of invention

　　Dr. Wilhelm Heraeus und Heinrich Heraeus followed in their father’s footsteps with a continued emphasis on research and development. They also brought on board a friend from their school days: Dr. Richard Küch, a physicist and chemist who forged solid contacts between Heraeus and the scientific world. His groundbreaking inventions and fundamental research laid the foundation for many of the activities the company pursues today.

　　Küch reached a milestone in 1899 when he discovered a process for obtaining high-purity and relatively bubble-free quartz glass from rock crystal by melting it using an oxyhydrogen blowpipe—a breakthrough with benefits for industry and medicine.

　　1920–1945：Growing into an international high-tech company

　　Research and development at Heraeus continued apace in the 20th century. One of the most outstanding technological innovations of the first half of the 20th century came from Heraeus: the process of melting metal materials under vacuum. For a time, Heraeus even operated its vacuum melting facility as an independent company that stood out for its innovative advances in the field. Between 1923 and 1933, the company received a total of 84 German patents.

　　In the 1920s, the third generation of the family joined the company. Dr. Wilhelm Heinrich Heraeus was responsible for technical management for almost four decades, while his cousin Dr. Reinhard Heraeus managed the business side of the company.

　　World War I, inflation and the collapse of markets brought Heraeus its share of difficulties, but the enterprise continued to grow. In 1939, 1,000 people worked for the company; its annual revenues had reached 20 million German marks. With Dr. Reinhard Heraeus at the helm, the family-owned company had finally developed into a multiproduct enterprise.

　　When World War II broke out, this development came to an abrupt halt. Many employees were drafted into the military, and bombing raids all but destroyed the production facilities in Hanau.

　　1950–2000：Heraeus becomes a global player

　　In the postwar period, Heraeus benefited from the international contacts already forged by the company’s founder before the turn of the century. Dr. Wilhelm Heinrich and Dr. Reinhard Heraeus built on that foundation. Beginning in 1958, the first foreign sales companies were established in France and Italy. Foreign subsidiaries and associated companies followed in the USA, Great Britain and Japan, along with production facilities in Korea and the Philippines. In 1979, foreign sales surpassed domestic sales for the first time.

　　In 1983, Dr. Jürgen Heraeus took the helm, the fourth generation to lead the family-owned company. Under his guidance, the enterprise became a full-fledged global corporation. After founding Heraeus Holding GmbH in 1985, he reorganized the Group from the ground up. He assigned its core activities to five decentralized, independently operating managing companies: W. C. Heraeus (precious metals), Heraeus Electro-Nite (sensors), Heraeus Kulzer (dental and medical products), Heraeus Quarzglas (quartz glass), and Heraeus Noblelight (specialty lighting sources).

　　These new management structures prepared Heraeus well for globalization. Dr. Jürgen Heraeus extended the Group’s activities into Asia, and it soon achieved the revenues and operating results of a truly worldwide group of companies.
