Information about Julius von Gekan:

"In 1891, Dunker's father Johan founded Helsingsborgs Gummifabrik AB. The rubber footwearproduced by the factory was of poor quality, so the younger Dunker travelled to Russia to learn how to produce better rubber.During a visit to Saint Petersburg, Russia, he did not find any new material, but in Riga, Latvia he met chemist Julius von Gerkan, who agreed to help him improve the rubber formula.His company was known for creating a rubber that was soft when cold but not sticky when the weather improved." -wikapedia
