50 years Farbchemie Braun KG in Wiesbaden-Nordenstadt (Germany).

| At the time of this photo, - founder of the company
in his Leipzig office, 1930 - the German dyestuff industry was leading the
world.
Pioneers from Germany and England, August Wilhelm von Hofmann and William
Henry Perkin, began the fundamental research which produced the first
dyes obtained by synthesis rather than by the tedious extraction methods
previously used on natural product thus opening the door to a world of
colour. |

| More dyestuff factories were soon started and in July 1873 the "Actiengesellschaft
für Anilinfabrikation" was established in Berlin which was removed
during 1895 to their current location in Bitterfeld.
Forty years after Farbchemie Braun's founder - Wilhelm Braun - had initiated the factory in Wiesbaden, another site at Bitterfeld (a traditional home of the German chemical industry) was acquired, which paved the way for the company's expansion and future development. Today, the combination of the company's dyestuff synthesis capacity, presscake conversion and powder blending installation are the major elements which guarantee the individual character, independence and competitiveness of the company, an alternative for the benefit of customers all over the world. |
