Peter Eckhardt & Ernst Johann Engler founded the company in 1898 as a wholesaler. In 1907 they took over the marketing of the products made by Roßkopf und Gerz. In 1914 they purchased a small company with a kiln and in 1918 they purchased some moulds from Roßkopf und Gerz, who had been made bankrupt by that time. So they became manufacturers and employed twelve pewtersmiths and twelve painters. In addition to some of the Roßkopf & Gerz moulds, they purchased designs from some well known jugendstil designers of the day, such as Albin Müller, Leonhard Hellmuth, Karl Görig and Bruno Mauder, plus they generated many other designs in-house. In 1923 they purchased the balance of the Roßkopf und Gerz moulds. The company continued to trade until 1971, at which time some of their moulds were purchased by Werner Corzelius.
