The founding of QVF in Wiesbaden-Biebrich in 1955

QVF Glastechnik GmbH was founded in 1955 as the subsidiary of the English company, QVF Ltd. In 1973 CORNING INCORPORATED, the largest special glass manufacturer of the world, took over the English mother company QVF Ltd. and simultaneously acquired the French competitor EIVS S.A. All three companies were combined into one new business unit- CORNING PROCESS SYSTEMS- and operated worldwide with different geographic responsibilities.

Relocation to Wiesbaden-Schierstein

In the course of strategic reorientation, Corning sold the PROCESS SYSTEMS Group, including a similar division in the USA in 1993 to five Senior Managers from Germany and England. QVF Glastechnik then became headquarters of the group.

 

 

Competence through size

In 1998 the merger of QVF Glastechnik and Schott Engineering and the fusion of their activities was represented by a new company, the QVF ENGINEERING GMBH with its Head Office in Mainz. QVF ENGINEERING GMBH does not only wish to be a market leader, but also a competent partner for components, apparatus and systems in glass and other corrosive-resistant materials.

Main plant in Mainz

The location in Mainz-Mombach chosen during the merger in 1998 was expanded with an additional office building in April 2001.

Member of a strong group

After the French company De Dietrich took over QVF in 2000, QVF became a member of the strong group with an orientation in chemical industry, the De Dietrich Process Systems Group, specializing in glass-lined equipment (De Dietrich Glass Lining), Borosilicate glass and Process Systems (QVF) and filters/dryers (Rosenmund).
