JBELO Production Plant
By John Cornelius
Here are some early photos of the JBELO plant in Sulzbuch, Germany. In the second photo, the number "8" is spray painted on all the windows. 1940's or early 50's? The others are all later. Julius and Beeno Loewenthal had fled Germany by 1933. Julius went to London, where he established COLIBRI, and Benno to Switzerland. Benno later moved to London and formed BENLOW.
