====Founding====

[[Eric Kleinmann]]~~, a German,~~ was a respected building engineer who inherited one of the largest construction companies of Western Europe from his father~~, Edward Kleinmann~~. He was considered one of the greatest entrepreneurs of his generation in his heyday~~. His~~ company ~~was~~ responsible for ~~the~~ development of steel-titanium textile-reinforced concrete.

The Bergmann Group was co-founded by two men: [[Eric Kleinmann]] of Germany and [[Xeander Berg]] of Belgium. Kleinmann was a respected building engineer who inherited one of the largest construction companies in Western Europe from Edward, his father. He was considered one of the greatest entrepreneurs of his generation in his heyday, with his company being responsible for development of steel-titanium textile-reinforced concrete. Beyond the close friendship he shared with Kleinmann, very little is known of Berg's life prior to the establishment of the Group. Prior to his first meeting with Eric, Berg maintained a small research and development facility in Belgium that focused on mining engineering. The two would meet at the International Exposition in Brussels, discovering that they shared many similar ideas about construction and architecture. From that chance meeting the Bergmann Group was born.
