In 1860, Ludwig Mohren took over a batch of glassware from a relative, for which he initially had no use. He began processing and trading this glassware as a “one-man business” in Aachen.

Our company history
1860
1895
After these small beginnings, the company already had ten employees in 1895 and continued to grow, so that by 1899 the premises in Aachen city center no longer offered enough space. In 1910, the company moved to a new building in Weststraße; the workforce had grown to 100 employees.
1918
After the end of the First World War in 1918, the glassworks in particular showed a downward trend. Through painstaking, tenacious work, it was possible to continue operations on a smaller scale and to bring about a new upswing from 1930 onwards.
1930
The company's specialty, pressed hard glass for technical purposes, was manufactured by Mohren as the only production company in the Federal Republic and brought in extensive orders from industry.
1945
The company suffered a severe setback in 1945 when, as part of the general evacuation measures, the business had to be shut down as the Allies approached. At the end of the war, the then owners, the brothers Josef, Leopold and Ludwig Mohren, were able to return to Aachen, only to find that although the company buildings had not been destroyed, they had been largely looted and damaged.
1950
With personal commitment, few employees and hardly any significant operating resources, they began to rebuild the company as early as May 1945. The fact that Mohren was the only company at the time that was able to resume deliveries quickly benefited further development. Five years later, 130 skilled workers and employees were once again working in the company and selling their products not only throughout Germany, but all over the world.
today
The firm cohesion of the company management and workforce has always played a major role in overcoming all these difficulties over the last 150 years, so that Ludwig Mohren KG can still offer its high-quality products worldwide today.
