LEONIsche Werke Roth-Nürnberg AG emerged from these beginnings in 1917. Even today, the ability to change and a keen sense of market developments and customer needs are among the company's most important characteristics.1569Anthoni Fournier founds a workshop for processing wire in Nuremberg, which later becomes one of the founding companies of LEONI. He produces the finest, refined wire products and spun wire, with which valuable embroidery, ribbons and braids can be made - so-called Lyonese Wares. The name is derived from the city of Lyon, where these products were invented.1923-1948After going public in 1923, LEONI opens up new markets with wires and round strands for industry. The rapidly growing electrical industry becomes an important customer group and wires and strands are also used early on in the automotive industry. There are various processes for the required insulation: the first enameled wires are produced in 1928, the first rubber-insulated wires in 1931 and the first plastic cables in 1943. In 1948, the production of ready-made mains connection cables (plug cables) begins.1956-1967From 1956 onwards, LEONI also increasingly takes on the further processing of cables, known as cable assembly, initially for the growing household appliance industry, then increasingly also producing cable harnesses for the automotive industry. In 1967, a separate plant for cable harness production is established in Kitzingen, which gradually concentrates entirely on the rapidly growing business with the automotive industry - over time, even simple cable harnesses become complex wiring systems.1985Foundation of the subsidiary Câblerie du Centre Tunisia (cable assembly) and L.D. Intercon, Ireland (cable assembly - later LEONI Ireland).1991Takeover of aurnhammer + benedict GmbH & Co. KG, Weißenburg (wire and strand production) and establishment of LEONI cable harness production in Portugal.
