The publication, “150 Years of Brenntag – From Berlin Out into the World,” offers a researched overview of the company’s storied history from its humble beginnings as an egg wholesaler in Berlin to chemical distribution.

Brenntag, global market leader in chemicals and ingredients distribution, has published a new historical study on its 150th anniversary.
The publication, “150 Years of Brenntag – From Berlin Out into the World” offers a researched overview of the company’s storied history. Founded in 1874 by Jewish entrepreneur Philipp Mühsam as an egg wholesaler in Berlin, the history also entails chemical distribution, which has rarely been illuminated in economic history literature to date.
The historians D. Stephanie Tilly and Prof. Dr. Christopher Kopper, have compiled a detailed history of the company. Based on a range of sources, which were identified and evaluated in a two-year research project, the authors trace the history flashback 150 years to today’s DAX40 company, which was characterized by constant development in changing political economic circumstances.
“Looking back on our own company history offers the opportunity to reflect on the people and challenges that have shaped our company over the years,” said Dr. Christian Kohlpaintner, CEO, Brenntag SE. “It was a matter close to my heart to have this history comprehensively reappraised for our anniversary, even the aspects where shadows weigh on it. A better understanding of the successes, setbacks and experiences of the past will help us to be successful in the future and to act responsibly. Brenntag has constantly changed and developed, and we continue to do so today in order to actively shape our markets as a global market leader.”
The period before and after World War II; the affiliation with the Stinnes Group; the rise of global chemical production and trade; and the internationalization of the business were particularly formative for Brenntag’s development.
Headquartered in Essen, Germany, Brenntag operates about 600 sites in more than 70 countries, and, with more than 17,700 employees, serves thousands of customers with a unique range of industrial and specialty chemicals, products and value-added services. The company has been listed on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange since 2010 and in the DAX since 2021.
To mark its founding date, Brenntag will celebrate an official ceremony in Essen in October in addition to worldwide events for employees.
