Today, the predecessor of DAX listed company is GHH company, which is the abbreviation of "Cape of Good Hope Iron Products Factory". After the First World War, Bauer and Roy, then chairmen of the board of directors of the iron products factory, bought the shares of Mann, a machinery manufacturing company, on a large scale and obtained most of Mann's shares.
According to historian Bayer, by expanding the company on a large scale and actively promoting the diversification policy, by the 1920s, Roche had become one of the most influential industrial giants in Germany at that time. Historian Bayer said that during the Weimar Republic, Bauer and Roy were one of the leaders of radical heavy industry who opposed democracy. He insisted on rearmament.
Although Roysh supports dictatorial countries and his company has made huge profits through weapons production, the relationship between this industrial giant and nationalists is not harmonious. Bayer said that the Nazis always wanted to exert influence on the company, but Roy refused. He didn't join the Nazis, and of course he kept his distance from the government at that time.
1942, the Nazis forced Loish to give up the position of chairman of the board of directors of the company. Roy, 65, left the company angrily and returned to the country farm near Stuttgart. After the war, the production of Munich Mann truck is booming. Until today, large trucks have been one of the most important business areas of the company. In addition, Mann also produces turbines, compressors, aircraft engines and marine motors.
