ARISTON Formstaub-Werke were founded in 1910 and had their headquarters at the former Adler colliery site in Essen-Kupferdreh. The main focus was the production of blackings for foundries.
Following the merger with Phoenix-Gießerie-Bedarfsgesellschaft mbH in 1967, the company headquarters moved to Altendorf-Rohr (now Essen-Burgaltendorf). The result of the merger was a modern production company that would be able to dry and grind coke and produce mixed products in one economical process sequence.
