37 History Johann Wilhelm Buderus I founds the Friedrichshütte on 14 March. Buderus goes public and becomes one of the first public limited companies in Germany. Merger with Röchling schen Eisen and Stahlwerken. Böhler-Uddeholm AG purchases 100 percent of the shares in Buderus Edelstahl. 1,400 employees generate an annual turnover of over 379 million euros. Johann Wilhelm Buderus II takes over the commercial and technical management of the Friedrichshütte charcoal furnace plant (Gießen district). Founding of the joint venture Stahlwerke Buderus-Röchling Aktiengesellschaft, later Edelstahlwerke Buderus AG. Buderus Edelstahl becomes part of Robert Bosch GmbH. The Austrian company voestalpine AG purchases Böhler-Uddeholm AG Page 37
