Leatherette factory - Potash factory - Netter & Eisig

Before it came to the founding of the company Netter & Eisig, Nathan Netter led the company "N. Netter", which was originally founded in 1870 by the Schmieheim-born merchants Nathan Netter and Joseph Hoffmann as a corset and shoe drill - weaving mill "Hoffmann & Netter" and then from 1873 by Nathan Netter alone until 1885 under his name company "N. Netter" continued. With the acquisition of J. Beck's property in 1885, the company "Netter & Eisig" was founded, which produced book binding fabrics and imitation leather for shoe linings. The factory was significantly enlarged by alterations and extensions in 1890, 1895, 1900, 1907-1908, 1922 and 1926/27. From 1907, the product range was additionally expanded with waterproof artificial leather and tracing linen. The acquisition of a weaving mill in Eislingen enabled the company to meet the constantly growing demand. In 1938, the company merged with a company in Kötitz near Coswig in Saxony, which had been aryanized in the meantime, with the new company name - "Göppinger Kaliko - und Kunstlederfabrik".
