Bauerfeind AG: No innovation, no market leadership

A pain-free, active life into old age – this is what everyone wants. Bauerfeind AG, a manufacturer of medical aids, such as supports, orthoses, compression stockings and foot orthoses, makes a major con­­tri­­bu­­tion toward this with its numerous inno­­va­­tions. Multiple awards for design and ma­­terials attest to our high product quality.

The medium-sized family business, founded in Zeulenroda, Thuringia, in 1929, is one of the industry’s market leaders. Bauerfeind has approximately 2,000 employees in Germany, as well as in 15 subsidiaries in Europe, America and Asia. The products, however, all bear the respected “Made in Germany” label and some of the produc­­tion steps involve authentic handcrafting.

In the research arena, Bauerfeind AG works closely with specialists, be it scien­­tists, physicians, specialty medical re­­tailers or orthotists. The medical aids manufacturer has been the official sup­­plier to the German Olympic teams since 2001. The knowledge gained from provi­­d­­­ing products to athletes is incorporated on an ongoing basis into product develop­­ment and optimisation. And this, in turn, benefits all patients.
