I.G. Farbenindustrie AG was one of the largest and most influential chemical companies in history. Founded on December 2, 1925, in Frankfurt am Main, Germany, the company was born from the merger of six major German chemical companies: BASF, Bayer, Hoechst, Agfa, Chemische Fabrik Griesheim-Elektron, and Chemische Fabrik vorm. Weiler Ter Meer. This merger aimed to create a giant capable of dominating the global chemical market, thanks to innovations and patents ranging from dyes to plastics, pharmaceuticals to explosives.
During the 1930s and 1940s, I.G. Farben became a key player in the German war industry, playing a crucial role in the production of synthetic materials such as rubber and fuel. However, it is infamously known for its involvement in the Nazi regime and the production of Zyklon B gas, used in extermination camps during World War II. After the war, the company was dismantled by the Allies due to its war crimes and ties to the Nazi regime.
