E
verything revolves around hinge
systems, pull-outs and lift sys-
tems at Blum.This is where prod-
ucts are developed and made that bring
enhanced user convenience to furniture.
But what do we mean by enhanced user
convenience? Just look at Blum’s prod-
ucts and you’ll know. A single touch suf-
fices and the fronts of wall cabinets glide
open. Drawers have a feather-light glide
even when heavily laden. Lift systems
stop in every desired position and doors
close softly and effortlessly thanks to soft
close – even if they’re slammed shut.
These are just a few examples of how
Blumproducts canhelpmakeworkflows
and everyday kitchen use easier.
It all started in 1952. A farrier by trade,
company founder Julius Blum started to
make horseshoe studs. The non-slip
studs were attached to the shoe to im-
prove grip on the ground. In 1958, the
company started to produce furniture
fittings. Since then Blumhas supplied its
products to furniture industries and
cabinet-makers all over the world.
Over the decades, the product range has
grown and so has the company. Today,
Blum is one of the world’s leading man-
ufacturers of fittings. In addition to its
seven plants in Austria, it also has pro-
duction plants in the USA, in Brazil and
Poland. 5,000 employees all over the
world work hard to make top-quality
Blum products so that users can enjoy
their furniture a furniture lifetime.
Blum’s fittings are made in Austria, the USA, Brazil and Poland
