Bachmann - History

In 1948, Josef Bachmann founded Bachmann KG, a commercial agency for the distribution of electrical products in Stuttgart. Soon afterwards, in 1954, Bachmann's son, Dieter Bachmann, joined the business.
The company Parabel Electric, managed by Dieter and his wife Sieglinde Bachmann, began producing its own plug cables in Winterbach, Swabia, in 1978. In 1979, BACHMANN took over the industrial distributors LIEBHERR and NIVONA and finally changed its name to Bachmann GmbH & Co. KG.

In 1990, BACHMANN's electrical engineering division was expanded to include the company BACHMANN Elektrotechnik in Steinbach in Thuringia. Soon afterwards, in 1993, Dieter Bachmann's son, Peter Bachmann, joined the company as managing director in the third generation. At that time, BACHMANN employed around 80 people.
One year later, in 1994, BACHMANN began to expand its production platform in Asia, which ultimately led to the takeover and independent continuation of a production site in Guangdong in 2016. In 1998, a new production and logistics center was built in the immediate vicinity of Steinbach. In 1999, the first international sales location opened in Barcelona, Spain.

In 2001, BACHMANN began individual development and production for Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) and thus clearly focused on individualized customer-oriented solutions.
In 2007 & 2008, further companies were founded in France and Romania, thus continuing BACHMANN's internationalization.

Another sales office was opened in London in 2011.
In 2016, BACHMANN increased its growth by taking over its Chinese partner AEL, including all buildings and employees.

BACHMANN employees have been on first-name terms since 2018. The "DU-culture" underlines the open corporate culture.
2019 BACHMANN acquires a stake in the Dutch start-up iotspot.
2022 Dr.-Ing. Oliver Eitrich completes the management team in the areas of Value Stream, Finance and Digitalization.

In 2023, another sales office was opened in Frauenfeld, Switzerland, before another Managing Director was appointed in 2023 to help the successful company achieve even greater brand awareness. As Head of Marketing & Sales, Christofer Sofsky represents the customer voice and thus the brand impact.
In the same year, a new showroom opens in Paris, allowing interested customers to experience BACHMANN at all levels.
In addition, the sales company Bachmann Sales GmbH & Co. KG is founded with the aim of getting even closer to the customer.
