Heimat Industries is a Jingdaoese - formerly Kildarian - company which was established in 4557 ASC by (the fictional) Albert Heimat, a character of Jonas Win'Eth. The company had several goals, including steel production, manufacture of ammunition and armaments.
History
The company was established in the year 4557 ASC by the family Heimat, a wealthy family from Dalmacija which had seen that Kildare was slowly industrialising and wanted to get a piece of the profit.
Albert Heimat chose the town of Agnigrad as headquarters for his new company and gathered his other wealthy family members behind him to invest in a bankrupt company which exploited an old gold mine. This gave him the personnel and expertise to search for new areas with gold. His actions were successful and lead to the discovery of one of the largest gold veins ever being found in the County of Dalmacija. The new technology and machines which were used gave him the benefit to dig deeper and his many successes gave him the opportunity to ask for a monopoly over all gold exploitation within the County, which he got.
The profits Albert made were used to reinvest in new projects: he bought some iron mines in Absentia and started exploiting them. This gave the the opportunity to make quality steel, which was shipped to Dalmacija, where it was used to make several new products. Heimat Industries quickly started focusing on steel products, manufacturing of ammunition and armaments and ships.
A demise of the company followed around the year 5,000 ASC, but after the Revolution of 5552 massive investments by the new owner, Pollux Heimat, were successful as it became the sole supplier of the heavy dreadnought-type ships for the Navy.
During the start of the 7th millennium, Haribald Heimat announced the production of the Kattei-class battleships and the expansion of the company, after the purchase of 49% of the stocks by the Batavian government. An official move of the company headquarters to Koningin Siserawerf followed, as it became the main shipbuilding constructor of the Empire.
