The Blum name stands for innovation, motivated employees and top-quality products. Julius Blum founded his company on 1 March 1952 and produced his first product: a horseshoe stud.
Come along with us on a short journey through the history of Julius Blum GmbH.
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.
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.
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.
