Franz Heinrich worked as a porcelain painter. In 1896 he built a melting pot in the parental house in Selb. Initially, he bought white ware from local porcelain factories. From 1901 he produced porcelain himself.
Under his leadership, the Porzellanfabrik Heinrich Selb developed into one of the most important manufacturers in Germany. During the heyday, almost half of the German porcelain production came from the Hutschenreuther, Rosenthal and Heinrich factories. Around 1930 his company had 500 employees, at the beginning of the 1970s over 800.
After the Second World War, Henry was the first porcelain producer in West Germany to resume production and sold his company to the English Slater Walker Group. In 1974 the English Bowater Group took over the company. In 1976 the Heinrich Porzellan GmbH was integrated into the Villeroy & Boch-Firmenverband.
