Gebr. BUZ (Heinrich Adolf & Albert)

The BUZ brothers of Augsburg had filed a patent application in Germany on 18 March 1878, under the title of:

Zündholzer mit einem langlichen rechteckigen Querschnitt (Matches with an elongated rectangular cross-section)

However, the patent application was rejected and no Reichspatent was granted.

On 20 March 1878, soon after the German application, the BUZ brothers filed a corresponding application for a brevet d'importation in Luxembourg under the title of: 

Verbesserungen an Zündholzer (Improvements to matches)

The patent application did not proceed to grant in Luxembourg either.

Corresponding patents, however, issued in Italy and Belgium.

The BUZ brothers were successful entrepreneurs and founded in 1882 the company UNION A.G. This company was taken over in 1925 by the Swedish Match Trust, which still today (2021) sells matches  under the brand  UNION MATCH.
