After the factory of what was then Elektrotechnische Fabrik Eugen Beyer in Berlin was destroyed in 1945, Eugen Beyer moved to Heilbronn in 1948 and rebuilt his factory there. Initially, the company moved into an old officers’ mess in Heilbronn, which soon became too small for the strong product demand; and so, just a few years later, a new main factory was planned in Theresienstrasse in Heilbronn, as was a second factory in Höchstberg (Heilbronn district). In 1960, the time then came for the company to move within Heilbronn, which the company founder Eugen Beyer, who died unexpectedly early in 1959, unfortunately no longer lived to see in person. With the move to the new factory building, the production volume rose by 100 percent.
