History

In 1930, Erich Becker, founder and namesake of the ERBE brand, interpreted the signs of the times correctly and started to specialise in manicure products.
This proved to be a wise decision, for these times heralded the boom of the bodycare segment.

* 1935 † 2016
Managing Director

His son, Siegfried Becker, took over the company in 1968.

In the 1950s, he played a major role in development the special coating applied to the sapphire nail files, which today enjoy high demand worldwide. The company’s electroplating department continued to modify and refine this invention 24 hours a day until it evolved into a highly successful form. Over the years, the BECKER Solingen team perfected this type of coating.

The 1980s witnessed the addition of further shaving accessories and shave care products to the product portfolio.

ERBE Solingen Produkt Historie

In 2006, Michael Becker, the founder’s grandson, took over the helm of this family-owned company, now in its third generation, alongside his brother-in-law Armin Dietrich as the plant manager.

Both men are particularly committed to continuing the company’s mission that has shaped its business practices for decades: producing the best Solingen quality under resource-saving and sustainable conditions.
