In 1949, German-born industrialist Emil Georg Bührle, formed Industrie- und Handelsbank AG (English: Bank of Industry and Commerce, Inc.) in Zürich, Switzerland primarily to finance his own industrial investments and expansion plans of Oerlikon-Bührle and to preserve his assets for future generations.
