Talk:Evonik Industries

Merge proposal
The history and founding date is completly wrong. The chemist Theodor Goldschmidt founded the company “Chemische Fabrik Th. Goldschmidt” in Berlin 170 years ago in 1847. In 1889/1890, the company then relocated to Essen, where it laid the foundations for today’s Goldschmidtstrasse site. Also, Huels AG (or Chemische Werke Huels) goes far back.

Wouldn't that section be considered promotional? Seems notable but conflicting.--BelBivDov (talk) 19:01, 24 September 2015 (UTC)

Degussa and the 3 reich
Degesch was founded in 1919 as a subsidiary of Degussa. Its first director was chemistry Nobel laureate Fritz Haber. In 1936, Degussa and IG Farben each held 42.5% of the shares, while Th. Goldschmidt AG held the remaining 15%. During the years 1938 through 1943, Degesch was extremely profitable. For most of these years, IG Farben received dividends amounting to twice the value of their shares.[1] After the Second World War Degesch continued production. In 1986 the company was sold to Detia Freyberg GmbH; the current name is Detia-Degesch GmbH.

Degesch was the firm, that produced Zyklon B. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2003:FA:5F20:9200:9D96:9806:4DE1:AF77 (talk) 13:30, 29 March 2020 (UTC)

The Holocaust
This company, assuming other Wikipedia pages are to be trusted, was the one that manufactured Zyklon B, now operating under a different name. (I realize that sounds like me issuing a moral indictment, but honestly, I'm just tired and stating the facts.)

Between January 16 and 17 of 2019, removed all references to this with no explanation (at a later date, someone put it in Category:Companies involved in the Holocaust). I'm not sure if it's because of some philosophical hiccup (this is an unrelated company that just happens to share a name) or if it was something that got caught in a cull (though they also removed a "See Also" link to Zyklon B), or if there's something more sinister at play.

Either way, something needs to be changed. If the removal was justified, it should also removed from Category:Companies involved in the Holocaust and Degussa (the name that the company that manufactured Zyklon B operated under) should maybe stop redirecting to a nonexistent "Historical significance" section. If not, that stuff needs to be re-added. Hppavilion1 (talk) 07:20, 8 August 2021 (UTC)


 * Seconded. I hesitate to jump to conclusions but something seems off here. Sweetstache (talk) 15:47, 12 November 2021 (UTC)
 * It seems suspicious that the intro doesn't say a word on this. After all, it's probably why most readers even look up this article. FunkMonk (talk) 12:06, 15 September 2023 (UTC)

CSR
I don't mind this section, but it was not sourced so I decided to remove the particular section Valdi Uriks (talk) 06:04, 4 May 2023 (UTC)
