Company Brochure

Création

At the Création, our design studio, product management, design and product development work hand in hand. Trends and current topics are included in the development of new products, always with a focus on durability and timelessness.

Idea & Concept
The sources from which the best ideas flow are inexhaustible. To ensure that they also lead to a product and thus to success, we bundle them into a viable concept for a development and produce initial quality samples for new fabrics.

Colours & Production
The limitless world of colour is one of the core characteristics of our fabrics. Fresh shades and numerous subtle nuances are matched to the respective applications, which are reflected in a range of colourits for the new products.

Production

From the processing of the yarn to the finished fabric, every step of production takes place in Langenthal. We have a broad repertoire for the production and finishing of textiles. We operate a winding mill, twisting mill, dyeing mill, weaving mill and print press.

Weaving mill
Modern and versatile loom weaving with a maximum weaving width of 330 cm allows the production of dense and transparent fabrics, specialities such as leno weave und warp prints, as well as customised orders.

History

1886

The two textile agents Friedrich Baumann and Albert Brand meet in Paris. In 1886 they found a company in Langenthal for the production and distribution of linen and half-linen.

1903

After almost twenty flourishing business years, they decide to go their separate ways. Friedrich Baumann continues to run the company with his and his wife's name as Baumann-Grütter. Friedrich Baumann opens the first mechanical linen weaving mill in 1905.

1946

The sons Fritz and Willy Baumann take over the company and continue to run it under the name "Baumann-Grütter Söhne".

1951

Fritz and Willy separate. Fritz Baumann now runs the linen weaving mill under the name Baumann & Co. Together with wholesalers, decorative fabrics made of linen, cotton and rayon are produced.

1963

The focus is now entirely on decorative fabrics and the appearance of the logo is renewed.

1979

Inauguration of the high-bay warehouse for fabric rolls and yarns - a pioneering logistical achievement in the service of even shorter delivery times. In the same year, the brand image appears in a new guise on sample books and printed matter.
