In 1830 Gustaw Henniger opened a factory for new silverware in Warsaw. After 30 years, Agaton Buch became its owner, but Henniger's company continued to advertise in the press under its own banner and address. In 1882, after the merger between Br. Buch and Norblin, products bearing Henniger's hallmark continued to appear on the market
