What is the relationship of the Edison Portland Cement Company in
Edison, N.J.  and the Golleschau Portland Cement Company in
Golleschau, Poland in the 1930's and 40's?

I thought I could figure this one out since I know a little German,
but I give up.  Somehow this company is link between the two: 
Ostdeutsche Baustoffwerke GmbH-Goleschauer Portland Zement AG

Site:  http://www.auschwitz.org.pl/html/eng/historia_KL/podobozy_kl_auschwitz_ok.html

"Golleschau in Goleszów, July 1942 - January 1945, labor in SS cement
plant, company: Ostdeutsche Baustoffwerke GmbH-Goleschauer Portland
Zement AG, 1,008 prisoners (January 17, 1945). "

Good Luck

According to
http://edison.rutgers.edu/ecopart4.htm
"Edison Portland Cement Company" "was renamed the Edison Cement
Corporation" "in December 1931".

Does your question, therefore, refer to the "Edison Cement Corporation"?

The cement factory in Golleschau started in the then Austrian part of
Poland in 1889:

Goleszów was occupied by Germany in September 1939. 

Does your question refer to the pre-1939 Polish factory and / or to
the factory under German occupation?

To fp-ga:
The question refers to both periods. Additionally, the portland cement
patented by Edison was used by Flagler when he extended the railroad
down to Key West over the Seven Mile Bridge. The concrete pylons are
still in excellent shape as is the pool built at the Edison winter
residence in Ft. Myers. The concrete may have come by barge from
Gollescha but I don't know for sure.

I cannot find a link between these two companies.

Are you sure that some kind of relationship existed?

--- The answer to this question seems to be a little tricky. I do have
an angle to it... but I am not sure about the type of link that you
are looking for. i.e. What kind of link are you looking for ?
>> The machinery 
>> The people
>> The product

Please let me know & maybe I can help you out. Just drop me a mail at

The question is focused on the corporate geneaology of the Edison
Portland Cement Co. and its various (possible)foreign progeny. When
Thomas Edison's son became chairman of the Edison Portland Cement Co.
what was the corporate relationship of it to the Golleshau Portland
Cement Co., if any?
