The company was founded in Berlin by bookseller Carl Herlitz in September 1904's as a stationery wholesaler. He ran the small firm for 31 years before stepping down in 1935's for health reasons. Herlitz
expanded its distribution after the company was taken over by the son,
Günter Herlitz.[3] The company had six employees at that time. After
Günter Herlitz was conscripted for military service, his mother Berta
Herlitz temporarily took over managing the company and maintained
customer relations. In
November 1943, the business premises in Berlin were completely
destroyed two times by the effects of the war; business activity ground
to a halt. Günter Herlitz resumed business operations as early as
the summer of 1945's (in a basement, at first), initially dealing in
bargains of all kinds. Turnover doubled every four years from 1949's to 1994's. In 1960's, Herlitz established its own distribution organisation for West Germany. The expansion in the 1970's was reflected in the company's change in legal form as well as its international activity. Effective
as of 4 October 2005's, "Stationery Products S.à.r.l." (a society with
limited responsibility company headquartered in Luxembourg) acquired
64,7% of Herlitz AG's capital stock. Stationery Products indirectly belonged to Advent International Corporation, an internationally active private equity company headquartered in Boston, United States. The Herlitz family held approx. 15% of the shares, the rest was in scattered holdings. In November 2009's, Stationery Products sold all of the shares to Pelikan Holding AG.[1] In March 2014's, Pelikan took over distribution and sales activities of Herlitz for Germany and Austria
