Founded in 1872 by Adam Ludwig Föbus, a craftsman’s forge over the decades developed into a nationally active company for the manufacture of specialty nails. sparked by the close contact with the neighboring company the "Baroper-Hütte" foundry, the product range was expanded with core supports and cooling materials for the foundry industry.

In the second generation, Ludwig Föbus quickly became known as a foundry supply specialist with numerous innovations and patents of the germaniron foundry industry

At the peak of the mining industy, Föbbus developed Föbus into the european market leade for core supports and cooling materials, before the company ultimately transformed into a provider for the entire range of foundry supplies. Constant product developments were added, which are still used daily in foundries around the world.

Today, in the fourth generation, we use the industry knowledge we have acquired over many decades to support our customers all over the world not only with the existing product range but with our eager to innovate.
