Company history of the Blum Group

ANUBA fittings

Perfecting motion...

After a difficult first few years, the company began a period of steady development. In 1958, fortune smiled and the company began to expand: Julius Blum received the license for the manufacture of ANUBA fittings in Austria. This was the initial foray into the fittings industry.

 
 
Plant 1, 1970

Blum continued to grow throughout the sixties, seventies and eighties. The main facility in Höchst was expanded, new plants were built and the first foreign subsidiaries were founded in Belgium, France, Ireland and Great Britain. The company became increasingly more international. New product systems were developed predominately for kitchen furniture.

 
 
Lift systems, pull-out systems and hinge systems

Today, Blum, after over 50 years of steady growth, is an international company which manufactures hinge, lift and pull-out systems primarily for the kitchen.
