History

History of Greif company
The factory was found in 1909 as a branch of the foundry Kölsch & Co. located in Siegen (Westphalia, Germany). It was a foundry and turning factory for industrial use as well as for steel mills, non-ferrous metal mills, grain mills, dye-house mills and others. 
 
After 1945 a rapid development of chemical industry started in the region and in 1950 several rather small drum and packaging production sites were merged into our factory. Our factory achieved a major steel drum manufacturer position in Czechoslovakia under the name MEVA n.p. then. In 1965 our factory became a part of the SFINX n.p. group and in 1993 it was privatised by the multinational packaging producer Royal Packaging Industries Van Leer B. V.
