Observations: Founded in 1867 in Pinneberg as the leather factory G. Metzger & Son. In 1919 the leather manufacturing company C. Otto Gehrckens (http://www.cog.de/english/praesentation/01.htm) took over and continued to do business under this name. From 1955 change over from leather manufacturing to rubber manufacturing, since then fan belts and elastic washers have been produced. The Metzger family have been running the company for five generations.
