Draft:Correns Corporation

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
  • Comment: Considering the cited sources, I would presume that the subject is notable and qualifies for its own Wikipedia article. However, the draft still needs some copy editing; it is very German, and I reckon difficult to comprehend unless one has a good understanding of how a native German speaker would compose a text.

History

[edit]

Founding

[edit]

Claus Correns began his career in China with the Hamburg-based trading company Siemssen & Co. in 1934 and was later relocated to Japan in 1942. After World War II, most German businesses in Japan were closed, and many German citizens were repatriated. However, Claus Correns was allowed to remain in Japan and founded C. Correns & Co. on April 1, 1948, in Tokyo. This company was one of the first German-owned businesses allowed to operate in Japan after 1945, playing a significant role to Japan's reconstruction by importing German products. The company was initially established as a general partnership and formally registered as C. Correns & Co., Ltd. on December 17, 1954. It was later renamed Correns Corporation on April 1, 1998.
