Foundation of the company by August Haas in Offenbach, Taunusstr. 12. Crates and barrels are produced by 8 employees for assembly components and consumables
The widow Leopoldine Haas takes over the management. Primarily production of crates for the leather industry
Acquisition of a steam engine with transmitter function for the drive of the sawing and planing equipment. The demand for crates increased due to the increasing industrialisation at the turn of the century. Companies such as Gebr. Heyne, MSO, Lavis, Schmalz, Collet & Engelhart took up residence in a new “industrial region Offenbach Hafen"
As a result of the consistently increasing demand for wooden packaging, a relocation to a new, larger production facility in the Nordring 142 in Offenbach becomes necessary
The sons Heinrich, Wilhelm and Philipp Haas take over the management
The company can continue to be enlarged and modernised due to the economic revival
Economic crisis and - in light of that - a severe slump in production
The economic situation begins to improve. New types of crates are introduced to improve the load capacity
