History
Rheinmetall was founded in 1889. Banker and investor Lorenz Zuckermandel[2] (1847–1928) was one of the founders and the first chairman of the supervisory board. It manufactured steel products, including armaments. During the post-WWI disarmament of Germany, the company diversified, but by the 1930s armament manufacture resumed. In 1933, it acquired A. Borsig GmbH, which manufactured locomotives.[3]
