Motto : Sic Virescit Industria
Origin/meaning
This design was made in September 1965, but I have no information whether the arms have actually been granted or used.
The chief shows so-called Hortonspheres, a type of tank used in the chemical industry and refers to the Altona Petrochemical Complex and Altona Refinery. Unfortunately we have no information on the meaning or origin of these arms yet.
If you have any information on the origin or meaning of these arms, or have additional images that you want to share, please mail us your information !
