Soon was in Feuerbach Stuttgart a branch to be opened. The namesake of the factory was in the 1763 Walldorf (Baden) , born Johann Jakob Astor , was the fur trade and real estate to the then richest man in the world in America.
The company initially began working very successfully in 1919 and employed about 1000 employees. In the second half of the 1920s, the company ran by the then difficult economic situation and outdated production methods in trouble and Molt had a majority shareholding in a competing Trust exits. This liquidated in 1929 had become unprofitable factory. The cigarette brand Astor with the portrait of Johann Jacob Astor is now used by Reemtsma made.
The Stuttgart headquarters in the Hackstraße 11 is largely today and is used as a commercial and residential building. [1]
