The company was founded in 1919 by Carl List[3] and Herman Ohlthaver. It was headquartered near the post office. In 1929 a bigger building was bought on the corner of Peter Müller (today Fidel Castro Street) and Kaiserstraße (today Independence Avenue).[4] This building was soon named Carl List Haus. It is today known as the Alexander Forbes House and still the headquarters of the company group.[5]

The company is in its third generation, and owner of Wernhil Park Mall facilities. It is the largest private-sector employer in the country and has over 5,000 employees.[6]
