Bauermeister History

The founder of the business, Emil Ludwig Hermann Bauermeister, started this Hamburg based business in 1882 as a supplier of grain mills. Even back then, investments in innovative developments were a major part of company policy. In 1900, Bauermeister applied for world-wide patents on their equipment and the first plant went into full scale serial production. Early 1900s also marked the expansion of the business into the processing of cocoa beans, cocoa powder and chocolate with specialized equipment and complete facilities.
