Innovating since 1860
Our company's origins date back to the year 1860, and it owes its commercial breakthrough to the innovative capacity of its founder, Dr. phil. Carl Schleussner. He improved a photographic dry plate to a point where it could be manufactured industrially to high quality standards. 'Dr. Schleussner's Gelatine Emulsion Plates' became the company's first international market success.
Pioneer in X-ray plates and photography
At the end of the 19th century, in collaboration with Conrad Wilhelm Röntgen, the famous physicist, Dr. phil. Carl Schleussner developed the first special X-ray plates and established himself as a leading manufacturer of X-ray plates.
The historical production of photographic plates led to the emergence of the extremely innovative Adox-Fotowerke company: it produced the first roll films and cameras in Germany.
Folex as a coating specialist
Since being established in 1951, today's Folex Group has applied its outstanding competence in the field of coatings to ever-new materials and markets.
By acquiring the Technoplast coating company in Cologne in 1989, Folex extended its portfolio to include graphic arts products and materials for membrane switches. The technological changes of the 1990s prompted the development of media for digital printing and new materials for the printing sector. In 2013, the group expanded again by taking over the long-established Regulus company, which has a digital printing portfolio as well as other products.
Despite all the changes we have experienced, the driving factors behind our work have remained the same to this day: we love to innovate, and we gear ourselves to the needs of our customers and markets.
