Foundation
The Business originates from a gathering of industrial purchasers in the city of Aue in 1885. At the time they complained about bottlenecks in the supply range of oils, fat, adhesives, as well as seals and transmission belts. Max Philipp recognized this as a big chance and founded the first technical distributor in the city of Aue in 1892. Due to his age he sold the blooming company to Hermann Wendler after beeing in business for 10 years. The company was registered in the Commercial Registry of the royal district cout Aue. This is how over a century ago on the 14st of may 1902 our company history began.
1902 - 1940
In the first four decades the young enterprise defined itself as a reliable supplier for industrial and craft businesses in southwest Saxony. Our profile at that time: wholesale with factory needs, machine oil and steam cylinder oils, and more. After Worldwar I the aftereffects as well as the great inflation and the corresponding world economy crisis could be mastered and overcome.
At the end of the 1930s the Hermann Wendler GmbH became one of Gerrmany's leading technical traders and with a company owned railroad connection it was referred to as the most important supplier of mineral oils in the area.
