The company's origins go back to 1867 when Heinrich Borgwaldt founded a wholesale company in Lübeck, initially specializing in food. A connection to the tobacco industry was thus established early on in the company's history. After moving to the economically more significant city of Hamburg in the 1930s, Heinr. Borgwaldt GmbH became increasingly more involved in the research and development of additives for the tobacco industry. Completely new tobacco ingredients were developed and produced. Specializing in the tobacco industry resulted in new ideas for developing the company further. Laboratory equipment, precision instruments for the analysis of tobacco, tobacco smoke, and for quality control purposes were later included in Heinr. Borgwaldt GmbH's product portfolio. In the 1990s the requirements of the tobacco industry increased. In order to meet these needs, the company was reorganized in 1995. The areas analysis, aromas, and equipment were restructured into three separate divisions: ASL Analytic Service Labora- tory GmbH, Borgwaldt Flavor GmbH, and Borgwaldt KC GmbH. Since 2013, the Borgwaldt Group has belonged 100% to Hauni Maschinenbau GmbH. Having Hauni as a strong partner at its side has opened up new growth opportunities. The complementary strengths of the respective companies have offered great potential in the search for innovative customer solutions. In the 21st century, the Borgwaldt Group with its 110 employees continues to offer top quality solutions for all areas of the tobacco industry. With tradition, innovative products and highest quality standards, the Borgwaldt Group ensures that both its tobacco products and its next generation products are indeed that what they are: unique. New Logo and Website for Borgwaldt Flavor Borgwaldt Flavor has introduced a new logo, a logical consequence of its posi- tive development over the last few years. In the course of changing the logo, Borgwaldt Flavor has also relaunched the Borgwaldt Flavor website. At www. borgwaldt-flavor.com, the new website offers a perfect combination of inspiration and current information in a modern and responsive design. "Imperial has a strict 'no tolerance' policy when retailers have been con- victed of selling illegal tobacco. It is important to remember that it is not a victimless crime, threatening legitimate local businesses – around 1 in 81 local corner shops in the UK are facing closure as a direct result of illegal tobacco – as well as funding organised criminal activity." - Peter Nelson, Imperial Tobacco anti-Illicit trade manager.
