G. F. Heim Sohne

GF Heim Söhne

GF Heim Söhne was founded in 1862 as a comb making factory. Heim Ober-Ramstadt initially processed tortoiseshell very successfully and developed into the largest tortoiseshell processing factory in Europe by 1900. In order to protect the turtles, the third generation beginning with Georg Friedrich Heim began early to experiment with new materials, and found in Plexiglas ® developed by the company Rohm and Haas an ideal material which can be treated like tortoiseshell. The company focus was to keep a focus on form, design and attention to careful processing and this has been known for over 150 years. Their products have a unique and attractive quality, achieved by the craft of manufacturing and maintaining the visions and values of the founder.
