Abstract

In 1904 Mr Johan Posten, a blacksmith, equipped an outbuilding to make products for a local hospital. The manufacture of products continued on a relatively small scale until 1949. The business was run entirely by family members until 1950 at which time the company employed its first worker. In 1956 another eight people were employed. The original site was not able to expand and the business had to look for larger premises elsewhere. Over the next sixteen years the company grew into an enterprise of some sixty employees and modernized its production techniques and built facilities for the storage of raw materials under the control of Mr Gerontius Posten, the grandson of the founder of the business Johan Posten.
