Josef Brumberg

The Josef Brumberg company was founded in 1873 by merchant Hermann Josef Brumberg as a processing metal factory. It was one of the first industries in Sundern.

In 1875 the company turned into a petroleum lamps producer. In 1890 a flood disaster in the valley of the Rohre river ruined almost the whole production.

After the death of Hermann Josef Brumberg in 1892, his son Josef took over. In 1914 a big fire destroyed the complete factory buildings. The sons Josef and Walter Brumberg overtook the company in 1933.

During the Second World War the production was compelled to be changed for German Armed Forces needs.

In 1950 another fire destroyed the company and its most important documents and files as well as design drawings.

In 1972 the brothers Hermann Josef and Johannes Brumberg became the fourth generation entrepreneurs.

The Josef Brumberg company was liquidated in 1985. The new founded Brumberg-Leuchten GmbH & Co. KG continued with the family’s tradition.

In 2007 Johannes Brumberg jr. became CEO.
