Our history (In 1898, Georg Hartmann (1880-1954) purchased Fundición Tipográfica Neufville.

In 1995, Bauer Types, continued the activities of Bauersche Giessere and Fundición Tipográfica Neufville.) <https://bauertypes.com/our-history> Wikipedia, viewed November 5, 2018 (access point: "Fundición Tipográfica Neufville; also known as Neufville Typefoundry was a well-known Type Foundry in Barcelona and the most important supplier of the Printing Industry in Spain during the 20th century. The origin of the company goes back to the 16th century, when German printers brought Gutenberg's invention to Spain. The foundry belonged to the convent of San José of Barcelona [no access point found in OCLC] and in the year 1880 became the property of the printing house Narciso Ramírez Y Rialp [no access point found in OCLC], who sold it in 1885 to the Frankfurt am Main-based Bauer Type Foundry (Bauersche Giesserei). The company continued its operations under the name of J. de Neufville [no access point found in OCLC], directed by Jacobo de Neufville, who belonged to a patrician family from Frankfurt, which was involved in the company. He was soon removed from the business for health reasons, and the company became known as “Sucesores de J. de Neufville” [no access point found in OCLC]. In 1922, Carlos Hartmann, son of Georg Hartmann, the owner of the Bauer Type Foundry [Bauersche Giesserei], turned the company into a Spanish-law society under the name of Fundición Tipográfica Neufville, SA. Beginning in the 1960's, Letterpress printing started to decline in favor of Offset printing. New procedures of text composition appeared ... despite the odds, the Neufville Typefoundry managed to maintain a strong production of lead types through acquisitions of prominent foundries: Fundición Tipográfica Nacional in 1971, the Bauer Type Foundry [Bauersche Giesserei] in 1972, Fonderie Typographique Française in 1974, matrices of the Lettergieterij Amsterdam in 1984, Ludwig & Mayer in 1985, and Fonderies Tyographiques Réunies del Líbano (United Type Foundries of Lebanon) in 1988. In 1974, it opened a branch near Paris, Neufville France, to supply lead types to France, Algeria, Morocco, and Tunisia, an activity that lasted until 1995. Fundición Tipográfica Neufville, SA was dissolved in 1995. Bauer Types SL became the successor, after the company was closed.") <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neufville_Typefoundry> |
