Henry Dübs

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Henry Dübs (born 1816) was a German-born British businessman and engineer.

He was born Heinrich Dûbs in Darmstadt, Germany, but anglicised his name to Henry Dübs when he moved to the United Kingdom. There, he founded the very successful locomotive manufacturing company that bore his name until it merged to form the North British Locomotive Company (NBL) which became the largest locomotive maker in Europe. He died on 24 April 1876 from pancreatic cancer.
