Packaging solutions for more than 110 years Our beginnings The name Hofbauer stands for high- quality and innovative products since 1902. It all began with the idea to produce industrial transport packaging. Gregor Hofbauer produced EXPERIENCE the first commercial containers out of wood, metal, textile and leather in 1902. These were followed by wood and metal trunks and cases for the emerging automotive SINCE 1902 industry. The beginnings of today's Hofbauer Case Range were already in the making. And from the beginning, our products have been “made in Germany”. New directions The 70s represent a milestone in our company's history. Hofbauer produced the first plastic cases through the application of new technologies (extrusion blow moulding and plastic injection moulding). For its time, the “Airbag” was a revolutionary briefcase and presentation case. This decade also saw the appearance of the Citybag series, which has proven to be a classic amongst industrial cases. 1902 1950 1970 Gregor Hofbauer founded Hofbauer designed packaging Plastic cases were produced Gregor Hofbauer GmbH. solutions to protect and trans- for the first time using extru- Everything began with the port world-renowned type- sion blow moulding systems. production of containers writer and camera brands.
