They're quite well known, actually:

Ferdinand Herberz & Cie, Stahlwarenfabrik, gegründet 1864, registriert am 17.Juli 1917, Sohlingen-Ohlings. Spezialisiert auf die Herstellung von Schneidwaren und Rasiermessern.
Markennamen: Palmera, Palma, Barcelona, Harpune, Sekurapid, Efax, Effax, Eros, Herberz, El Plumero

In case you're wondering about the Palmera brand, there is this old thread: http://straightrazorpalace.com/razor...w-palmera.html

And a bit about Palmera: "Juan Vollmer bought a razor blade factory in Irún and was authorized to use the PALMERA trade mark in Spain (the PALMERA trademark was first registered in 1864 in Solingen, Germany). PALMERA's evolution since then has been substantial; it met very specific objectives in those years and became a symbol of quality that would later support other products manufactured by the company."

Vollmer apparently worked as an OEM, cf this "Vollmer" lather catcher (which is a Henckels for all intents and purposes): https://goo.gl/Xubpfl. And there's even a Juan Vollmer Place in Irún.

You'll probably find this thread interesting, too: Tengo en camino esta navaja Juan Vollmer
