Hoffmann Mineral GmbH is a German manufacturer of a natural mineral filler, named Neuburg Siliceous Earth, which is a combination of corpuscular Neuburg Silica and lamellar kaolinite: a loose mixture impossible to separate by physical methods. As a result of natural aging, the silica portion exhibits a round grain shape and consists of aggregated primary particles of about 200 nm diameter. The unique structure leads to good application properties. This functional filler is sold worldwide under its trade name SILLITIN and SILLIKOLLOID and surface treated AKTISIL. Our calcined products SILFIT and AKTIFIT are based on the standard product SILLITIN Z 86. A thermal process is used to expel the crystalline water in the kaolinite portion and new mineral phases are formed practically amorphous. The silica portion remains inert at the temperature used. The resulting products have an outstandingly high degree of white and color neutrality.

"The Gill Corporation was founded on September 11, 1945 by a man who believed that ""plastics"" was the future - Merwyn ""M.C."" Gill. He started the company in a garage in Montebello and, today, it is the oldest, continuously operating manufacturer of advanced composites for the aviation industry in the world. The company originally produced products for the consumer market. Some were unique, like a plastic wall covering that was before its time and balsa bat and cork ball baseball game set. But, after seven years of struggling, an opportunity emerged to manufacture belly baggage compartment wall linings for Douglas Aircraft's DC-6. The company grasped the opportunity and we've been in commercial aviation since that time. The company still makes ""cargo liner"" today, but it's a different product than it was then."

"Tubular core technology was developed in the late 1950's by Hanseatische Flugzeugwerke in Hamburg and Lonza in Switzerland. When Lonza decided to divest itself of this new product development, it was Mr. Bauer - at that time the leading project engineer on this new tubular honeycomb technology - who purchased the technology and set up Tubus Bauer GmbH in 1972 in Wallbach, Germany. The first market for Tubus Core applications was the refrigeration industry, since the laminarization of airflow is very critical to manufacturing an economically refrigerated showcase. It did not take long for Tubus Bauer to become the sole source for this industry and, within a few years, Tubus Core was used by all major manufacturers of refrigeration display cases in Europe. This new technology spread - basically only through word-of-mouth - and established itself in the European market of vertical refrigeration display cases."
