On the art of re-inventing oneself
1717. No one could have predicted what would one day become of the humble hammer mill in a little village in the South of Germany. How indeed could anyone know? For a long time, our company evolved very slowly and gradually. Then came the big transformation in 1960. Since then, we have become a leading producer and servicer of corrugators. And we plan to go much further. We strive to always be one step ahead – as a technological driving force and Lifecycle Partner to the corrugated industry in the digital age.
In the 2000s – BHS Corrugated has long been a technological leader in the corrugated industry.
Since 2017, the innovative ambitions of BHS Corrugated have been focused in the new Lifecycle Building.
1917 – the old hammer mill turns 200 years old. Ten years later, a new company was founded – Bayerische Berg-, Hütten- und Salzwerke AG (Bavarian Mining, Smelting and Salt Works Corp.) or BHS.

How it all came to be. And how it is going to be.
1717
As the two hammer mills, Philippsburg and Altenhammer am Floß, were no longer able to produce enough bombs and howitzer grenades for the imperial armory in Vienna, Theodor Eustach, palatine of the duchy Sulzbach, founds the third ironworks in the county of Parkstein-Weiden. The blast furnace is completed on September 27, 1717. Once workers are hired, production begins.
1719
To directly process the raw iron to wrought iron, work begins on the construction of a hammer mill – the eponym of the village of Weiherhammer.
1730
The first workers, charcoal burners and wagoners settle across from the mill. The little settlement is named “Weihersdorf” and later renamed “Beckendorf.”
1832
In addition to the foundry products, wagon axles are produced in Weiherhammer for the first time. This is the year the machine factory was established.
