Over 90 years ago, Heinrich Baumüller founded a repair shop for electrical machines in 1930. The company soon began manufacturing its own three-phase motors. In the company’s second generation, Günter Baumüller took over the management, entered into new markets and regions, and expanded Baumüller to become a global player. At present, the Baumüller Group is managed by Andreas Baumüller. As a response to current megatrends, intelligent system solutions and digital services for industrial automation and drive technology as well as e-mobility have now become an integral part of Baumüller’s portfolio.
