Metal processing in Tambach-Dietharz

JAHN GmbH is located in Tambach-Dietharz at a site with a long tradition in metal processing. Already in 1890 it served for the metal goods factory Metz, Bauer u. Kettling as a production site for screw clamps, metal fittings and bicycle bells. The foundation of that company was also the starting point of the Tambach industry. During the period of industrial boom, the town became better known and gained more and more economic importance due to the expansion of the production variety.

In the course of the decades, further metal processing companies were founded. With these, the production of screws, tools and other metal products as well as the cold forming of steel were added in Tambach (or from 1919 in Tambach-Dietharz).

In the course of far-reaching restructuring in 1945, aluminum products were manufactured for the first time in the valley region in the Thuringian Forest with the production of aluminum tubes for medicinal ointments and toothpaste as well as aluminum sleeves for tablets. This was the first mention of the light metal, which was later to be of fundamental importance for JAHN GmbH.

In the following decades, the production program of the site was further expanded. New companies were founded and expanded, which gained GDR-wide importance in the sectors of screw production as well as wagon and vehicle construction.

With the peaceful revolution of 1989 an independence of the companies could be realized. This triggered further restructuring. In the course of this, several success stories took their course in Tambach-Dietharz. This was also the case with JAHN GmbH.
