Foundation of the company Polymer Synthese Werk Rudolf Klaus &Co. KG by Rudolf Klaus in Mülheim/Ruhr. A technical production plant with completely new manufacturing processes had to be planned and built to process the raw material "polyethylene" that was available at the time. With the construction of the plant, new paths had to be explored. Since work was being done in a still unknown production area, setbacks were inevitable. But thanks to Rudolf Klaus' many years of industrial experience as an employee in large chemical plants, the hard work on the construction led to success. Not only did industrial processes for the production of the raw materials have to be developed, but also the machines for the film production. Consequently, new machines were designed and built in collaboration with the chemical, mechanical and electrical industries.
