Ten Years On: HPF Korea Marks a Decade of Growth
An interview with Mr. Danny Lee, Managing Director, HPF Minerals Ltd
125 Years of AKW – 30 Years in Partnership with Quarzwerke
125 years of Amberger Kaolinwerke, 30 years as part of the Quarzwerke Group—two anniversaries that symbolize tradition, change, and the future. Hardly anyone has been as closely involved in this development as Bernhard Neudecker. For over four decades, he held various positions at Amberger Kaolinwerke. Even today, he continues to contribute his experience to important future projects.
40 Years of mst: Reliable on the Road for Generations
The fact that our raw materials now reliably make their way from the extraction site to the customer is the result of a logistics infrastructure that has evolved over decades. It all began 40 years ago with the founding of mst Mineral-Speditions- und Transport-GmbH—a major milestone in the development of Quarzwerke’s logistics operations. Time for a #TBT, a look back:
#TBT: Responsibility for People – Then and Now
From the very beginning, it was clear to Quarzwerke that economic success and social responsibility are inextricably linked. A look back at the company’s history reveals the importance placed on employees many decades ago and how consistently this philosophy was put into practice.
125 Years of Amberger Kaolinwerke: A History of Pioneering Spirit and Transformation
One of our subsidiaries is turning 125. And we, as the parent company, are immensely proud. What began with the development of kaolin deposits in the Upper Palatinate has, over more than a century, evolved into an internationally active group of companies. Technical progress, entrepreneurial courage, and the ability to continually adapt to changing conditions have shaped the history of AKW (Amberger Kaolinwerke Eduard Kick GmbH & Co. KG) to this day.
This retrospective highlights the key events, key figures, and milestones of an extraordinary success story.
The story of a small value that achieved great things: the MAK value
Anyone who works in mines, quarries, or in the processing of quartz sand—such as grinding it into a fine powder—is familiar with the occupational safety issue of fine dust. But few people know that the protective regulations governing this issue have undergone a long and fascinating development. Today, in Throwback Thursday, we take a look at a particularly important value: the MAK value.
#TBT Follow-Up: The Quarzwerke logo – a symbol for an entire group
In our last TBT, we took a look at the history of the “Quarzwerke shovel” – that unique symbol that conveys our origins, our tradition of craftsmanship, and our values. But the shovel has long since ceased to be merely a symbol of the parent company: over the decades, it has developed into a visual link within the entire Quarzwerke Group.
Today, we take a look at where else in the Quartzwerke Group the shovel is used.
#TBT: The Quarzwerke logo – The shovel as the centerpiece and a matter close to our hearts
When you think of quartz movements, the logo immediately springs to mind—the turquoise lettering and that “almost round symbol.” Although, it’s not actually completely round. It’s a shape somewhere between a circle and a triangle, soft and angular at the same time. And this combination is no coincidence.
In today’s Throwback Thursday, we take a look at the history of our logo.
