Founded by Emil Arntz in 1872 started the production of rubber threads with ten workers in Höxter Germany. The first to purchase rubber threads from Höxter are the textile factories in Wuppertal. The business idea is a great success. During the next years, the industrious businessman extends the production range with moulded articles such as brake pads for carriages, treadles for bicycles, door mats, football bladders, ice bags, hot water bottles, rubber suction plates for dentures as well as air and water cushions which offer bedfast patients pain relief. Furthermore, Arntz produces rubberised fabrics for the production of aprons, miner overalls, and bed padding. Even then foreign cities which are still among the most important sales areas today are supplied with Optibelt goods: Antwerp, Copenhagen, Zurich, London, Bucharest, Vienna and many more.
