GmbHOriginally founded in 1956 by Georg Roll, the philatelic agency became Germany's largest international stamp wholesaler and distributor, also acting as agent for upto 50 countries. In 1971 it was led by Jürgen Schneider and in 1998 by state-owned Bundesdruckerei GmbH, trading as Georg Roll Nachf. GmbH. In a management buy-out, Jürgen Schneider and his son Tomke Schneider gained control in 2001, the company was then trading as Georg Roll Briefmarken GmbH. On 1.12.2009 the company went into liquidation and was wound up as bankrupt. The changing business and unfavourable terms of credit as well as increasing demands for advance payments lead to liquidity problems, sources also cite mis-management and too high staffing levels; 28 staff were made redundant during 2009. The remaining business contacts and client base was taken over by Philagentur GmbH, Oberusel. Tomke Schneider, the last director, went on to become director of Swiss company Philart S.A. (his father Jürgen Schneider was director there until 2005) which went into liquidation in 2011.
