Our History
More than 125 Years of tradition
Porzellanfabrik Hermsdorf was founded in 1890. We have been producing technical ceramics at this site for more than 100 years.
An important highlight in the company history was the construction of the Delta petticoat insulator in 1897, which in those days was considered a revolutionary concept for building high-voltage insulators.
The 1930s witnessed the construction of the long-rod insulator and the introduction of steatite as ceramic material for insulation. Over many years the diverse properties and applications of technical ceramics have resulted in the discovery of new material and product groups.
In the year 2000, we stopped producing high-voltage insulators and started focusing on the current product range. Today, we are a medium-sized enterprise with more than 100 employees.
