At Phoenix, rubber technology has a long tradition. Phoenix got started in Hamburg in 1856 with the founding of the “Gummifabrik Albert & Louis Cohen”. It quickly developed into a highly productive company in the European rubber industry.
Worldwide the winged rhombus in the Phoenix logo became a prominent trademark in the rubber industry for many products – for example, tires, conveyor belts, hoses, metal-to-rubber-bonded connections and air springs. For more than fifty years now, the Phoenix brand has been marketing air springs for commercial vehicles (trucks, buses, trailers and semi trailers).
On January 16, 2007 Phoenix AG was merged into ContiTech AG. Thus, under the ContiTech AG umbrella, the world’s largest rubber specialists in the non-tire rubber sector, the Phoenix brand is writing another chapter in its successful 150-year history.
