William Brandt's Sons & Co. Ltd [1] was an Anglo-German merchant bank and accepting house in the early nineteenth and late twentieth century.
Emmanuel Henry Brandt opened his first office in London during 1805 where his postal address was Batson's Coffee House and later at 34 Lombard Street.
Their Russian interests also included sugar refineries, sawmills, cordage factories, tanneries, iron foundries, cotton mills, and wharfs.
Interestingly, today’s Peter the Great Technical School Building was the original Brandt House.
Other subsidiaries included a successful timber and forest products business that was established by a Russian cousin after the revolution.
Brandt's sold 1/3 of their shares to National and Grindlays Bank in 1965 who then fully acquired the remaining balance in 1976.
