The family business, founded in 1929 in Zeulenroda (Thuringia, Germany) is one of the market leaders in its industry. Bauerfeind employs a staff of around 2,000 worldwide and is represented by subsidiaries in more than 20 countries. The products, however, all bear the respected “Made in Germany” label and some of the production steps involve authentic handcrafting.

Bauerfeind works closely with people to develop its products. For research and development activities specialists are brought in, be it scientists, physicians, medical retailers or orthotists. Patients’ experiences of and the knowledge gained from providing products to athletes are, however, also incorporated on an ongoing basis into the development and optimization of products.
