In 1932, Ludwig Beckh bought the crystal workshop Wyco-Glas in Pforzheim – the subsidiary of a Swiss company. Watch glasses and cover glasses for medical and technical devices were produced of different plastics, since 1934 also Plexiglas® was used. Wyco-Glas was one of the first companies to process this material. During an allied bombing attack in February of 1945, Pforzheim's city center and also the company's premises were destroyed. Ludwig Beckh died during this attack.

Hanna Bischoff, née Beckh, the owner's daughter, and Theodor Bischoff played a major role in the construction of a new production in a former restaurant in Bauschlott, near Pforzheim. The demand for Wyco glasses increased rapidly. After a short time, Wyco could move back to Pforzheim, where an own company building was constructed in 1960. At peak periods, more than 40 employees were busy producing the cover glasses now exclusively made of acrylic glass and exported throughout Europe.

The dominance of clocks with glasses imported from the Far East and the decrease of the European production at the same time made an expansion of processing options necessary. Management realized early that there was the necessity and also the possibility to offer the material in a broader context. Linked to the needs, the processing options were constantly rising.

With well-trained and motivated staff and the expanded options in the newly constructed area, Wyco-Glas is well-positioned to face future challenges.
