The Contour V-blade was awarded the German Design Award in the "Excellent Product Design Industry" category.

On 22 and 23 August 2023, a significant milestone in the history of Albrecht Bäumer was reached when the subsidiary "Baumer of Poland" was officially opened. This new subsidiary is located in Oborniki, Poland, and marks an important step in the company's international expansion.

From January 1, 2023, the American subsidiary of Albrecht Bäumer GmbH & Co. KG is expanding to Tampa, Florida. With this step the manufacturer for cutting machines and software for the foam industry wants to cover larger parts of the US, Canada and Mexico in terms of service and support in the future.

In the end of June the team of Albrecht Bäumer GmbH & Co. KG and Baumer of Amercia Inc. proudly presented an innovation to the market. At Foam Expo North-America the new Contour V-blade, a vertical contour cutting machine, was introduced to all guests. The feedback was overwhelming.

In 2019, we reported on our blog about an important milestone for the training of the future professionals in the U.S. Today the project is coming to its fruition.

From November 30th to December 1st Bäumer opened its digital doors. Approx. 200 guests joined the online trade show live. The feedback from the participants showed the importance and huge success of the event.

For 75 years, Albrecht Bäumer GmbH & Co. KG has been a leading manufacturer of systems, machines and software for cutting, processing and transporting foam materials. Bäumer secures the future of its customers in the foam industry through customer-specific engineering and intelligent services. As the market leader, the company not only offers a comprehensive range of foam cutting machines and transport systems, but also customized, comprehensive and intelligent concepts for their production.

When a new and innovative material is launched on the market, the manufacturer has a lot to consider.

In 2021, Christoph Hauck will become the first external CEO in the company's 75-year history to assume the position of sole managing director at Bäumer. With stability and sustainability, he wants to keep the “big ship” Bäumer on course, relying in particular on almost 400 motivated employees. Bäumer is a matter of the heart for him, a perfect match, so to speak.

Successful companies work hard every day to refine their own quality standards and improve quality, costs and delivery times for their customers. In order to meet this challenge every day, all the gears of the production process must always work together in harmony. These seamless processes are the key prerequisite for the creation of an outstanding product range.

Necessity is the mother of invention. How true this saying became during the Corona crisis is very clear. When from one day to the next travel bans were imposed and borders closed, our field service technicians also had to leave everything on the construction sites worldwide and travel home. One of our affected customers was Ikano Mexico - the new contour cutting machine could not be assembled completely. But we are very proud to say, that we finished the project successfully!
