The German Libbey Owens Society for mechanical glass production AG, or DELOG for short, was a German company in the field of glass production in Gelsenkirchen-Rotthausen, from which Flachglas AG emerged.
In 1970 DELOG and Deutsche Tafelglas AG were merged to form Flachglas AG, based in Gelsenkirchen. The Gebrüder Müllensiefen plant in Witten, founded in 1826 by Gustav Müllensiefen and Theodor Müllensiefen, taken over in 1930 by Deutsche Tafelglas AG, thus came to flat glass.

MoreThe German Libbey Owens Society for mechanical glass production AG, or DELOG for short, was a German company in the field of glass production in Gelsenkirchen-Rotthausen, from which Flachglas AG emerged.
In 1970 DELOG and Deutsche Tafelglas AG were merged to form Flachglas AG, based in Gelsenkirchen. The Gebrüder Müllensiefen plant in Witten, founded in 1826 by Gustav Müllensiefen and Theodor Müllensiefen, taken over in 1930 by Deutsche Tafelglas AG, thus came to flat glass.
At that time, the Pilkington Brothers company already owned the majority of shares in the mining company Dahlbusch. The companies Schulze in Herford, Westdeutsche Spiegelfabriken GmbH in Sende and Flabeg GmbH came to Flachglas through the merger .
