'MONOPOL'

The history of the Ibelo in Sulzbach begins after the end of the Second World War. Hermann Zahn took over the company in 1938 from the brothers Julius and Benno Loewenthal. The two had founded the company in Frankfurt in 1919 and had to flee Germany to England because of their Jewish origins; there they founded their own lighter company. They also gave the name Ibelo , derived from the initials of the two brothers ( J , Be and Lo ). After a forced break during the war years, Zahn resumed production in his hometown of Sulzbach towards the end of the 1940s, initially in a shed next to his parents' house.

Even before the war, Zahn had launched a completely new type of ignition system for lighters. Now he set about marketing this idea. Mainly thanks to good contacts abroad, his company experienced a rapid upswing. Lighters from Sulzbach were soon being exported to the entire western world under the name "Colibri". After two expansions at the beginning of the 1950s, the Ibelo building was erected on Sulzbacher Hauptstraße in 1956. The main building on Jahnstraße followed nine years later.

After the Second World War, the company received a patent for a pocket lighter in the USA .

In 1973 Ibelo was the largest lighter manufacturer in Europe. In 1976, exports were made to 53 countries worldwide and 420 people were employed at the Sulzbach site.

A proposal permitting importation into Spain of automatic cigarette lighters has been approved by the Spanish council of ministers, according to a cable received in the Department of Commerce from Commercial Attache C. H. Cunningham, at Madrid. The lighters are subject to payment of a tax which amounts to three pesetas for lighters of ordinary metal, six pesetas for silver lighters and 12 pesetas for gold lighters. Lighters sold in Spain must bear a government seal which is placed on them after payment of the tax.
