Though Chemische Fabrik Griesheim-Elektron was not exclusively an aeronautic firm, it is associated with Patent FR-1914-471799 and Patent FR-1915-476852, and its location is associated with the inventors Wilhelm Pega and Karl Emich (and thereby with Patent GB-1910-630).

"Elektronmetall", an alloy consisting of 90% Magnesium, 9% Aluminum, and 1% other, was invented in 1908 by Gustav Pistor and Wilhelm Moschel at the Bitterfeld works of Chemische Fabrik Griesheim-Elektron. At its pavilion at the International Air Transport Fair (Internationale Luftschiffahrt-Ausstellung, ILA) in Frankfurt am Main in 1909, the firm exhibited an Adler 75HP engine with a cast magnesium alloy crankcase The alloy played a significant role in aviation during the later years of our study and into the future.
