THE IDEA
Over 75 years ago, Bruno Bauerfeind combined entrepreneurship with
social commitment by looking towards the future and investing in the
healthcare market. Today, his courage and determination can still be
felt throughout the entire company, since great ideas last over time.
The company’s history:
1929 Bruno Bauerfeind establishes a business that specializes
in the production of medical compression hosiery. In 1939,
the company already employs over 100 dedicated workers.
1949 The political situation forces Rudolf Bauerfeind and
his family to leave their home. They begin anew in
Darmstadt-Eberstadt.
1972 Hans B. Bauerfeind, grandson of the company founder,
accepts the leadership at the Kempen-based company
Diedrich Grote Nachfolger. In 1978 he merges the companies
in Darmstadt and Kempen into Bauerfeind GmbH with joint
headquarters in Kempen.
1991 This year marks the return of the company back to the
place of compression hosiery knitting. Hans B. Bauerfeind
begins constructing new headquarters at Zeulenroda.
2002-04 Bauerfeind AG is established. The Bauerfeind Innovation
Center (BIC) and the Logistics Center are founded as new
entities in Zeulenroda.
2005 Move to the new administrative building, which, at 57 meters
(187 feet), is the tallest building to be constructed in the
state of Thuringia after Germany’s reunifi cation.

AT HOME AROUND THE WORLD
Although the philosophy that people work for people originated in
Zeulenroda it has circled the globe. Bauerfeind viewed this globalization
philosophy as an opportunity. As a result, patients, doctors, scientists
and employees everywhere in the world are excited about our
highly effective products.

TRADITION MEETS INNOVATION
Everybody at Bauerfeind looks towards the future. Product innovation
and development combined with performance and service ensures
Bauerfeind’s success. A multitude of satisfied patients worldwide
demonstrates our continued commitment to innovation both today
and into the future.

FOR THE BENEFIT OF THE PATIENT
As early as the 1970’s Bauerfeind proved that it is worthwhile to link
sports medicine with product research. The GenuTrain® was developed
by the joint efforts of Bauerfeind and two well-respected sports medicine
doctors: Prof. Dr. Hess and Prof. Dr. Krause. Still today physicians
work closely with the R&D department. The results of these synergies
are patented, prize-winning products as well as the realization that
combining the two together can create the best for the patients.

MOTION IS LIFE
Competence, ambition and team spirit are values encouraged by
Bauerfeind. Therefore, involvement in sports on a regional, national
and international level was a natural evolution for the company.
Today, Bauerfeind AG supports 3,800 athletes and as official sponsor
for the German Olympic Team helps team doctors and physical
therapists do their job.

MADE IN GERMANY
At Bauerfeind quality is not only associated with the products. Quality is at
the beginning of every course of action and the basis of every production
and development step. We develop and manufacture high-quality, medical
products in Germany and we focus on the newest product technologies and
true craftsmanship. We live for “Made in Germany”.

BAUERFEIND PHLEBOLOGY
As early as the 1920’s Zeulenroda was already the most well-known center for
compression hosiery manufacturing, its reputation known beyond European
boundaries. That’s where Bauerfeind Phlebology is located. Since 1991
Bauerfeind has been producing compression hosiery of the brand VenoTrain®
in one of the most modern manufacturing sites of the world – products for
the systematic treatment of mild to severe venous insufficiencies.

BAUERFEIND ORTHOPEDICS
Therapeutic braces and orthoses by Bauerfeind Orthopedics set the standard
in the medical industry. They support the rehabilitation process after injuries,
degenerative diseases and surgeries and support motion. A milestone in the
history of the company was the GenuTrain®, a knee brace that has proven to be
effective for 25 years. As all other braces of the Train®-series the GenuTrain®
has been further developed and improved. The new GenuTrain® has been
awarded for “Best Design”.

BAUERFEIND FOOT ORTHOPEDICS
The development of highly effective medical insole systems along with
the use of computer-based measuring and milling technologies have made
Bauerfeind the leading manufacturer of Foot Orthopedics in Europe. Relief
shoes as well as the footcare system GloboConcept® complete the product
line. With its know-how Bauerfeind Foot Orthopedics supports the orthopedic
health care market by actively enhancing its services and products
to best serve the patient.

BAUERFEIND PROSTHETICS
Mobility enhances the quality of life. Nobody knows this better than an
amputee as well as the artificial limb technician. Technical know-how
and extreme sensitivity are equally demanded. This is why Bauerfeind
Prosthetics seeks the advice of not only O&Ps, physicians and scientists
but also amputees when developing these products.

CUSTOMIZED SERVICE
Standards that are expected of our medical products are also expected of
our service: it fits like a glove. As a strong partner we offer our customers
a complete package: from expert consultation and flexible ordering options
to extensive marketing opportunities. This is the reason why we are able to
maintain long-term and trustworthy relationships resulting in strong partnerships
and mutual success.

DEPEND ON BAUERFEIND
The competencies of a company do not exclusively rely on the technology
and production alone but also on its services. Efficient ordering and
modern logistics, expert consultations and an international sales network
enable Bauerfeind to help its partners treat their patients all over the
world as quickly as possible.
