Our History


Our Successes As A Medium-Sized Foil Manufacturer

The history of the Bauerschmidt Group dates back to 1949, when Walter Bauerschmidt, an independent carpenter founded his carpentry business. In the mid-1960s, the tireless entrepreneur took advantage of the new opportunities offered by the emergence of plastics thus discovering a new market for his own products. In 1968, he and his employees processed the first films. Based on this tradition, the company has developed and is now successfully managed in the third generation.
