Beurer

Beurer GmbH is a German family-owned Mittelstand manufacturer of electrical devices for health and well-being. Originally a manufacturer of electric blankets, the company began diversifying its product line in the 1980s[1] and now produces some 2,200 products including weighing scales, blood pressure monitors, and a mobile ECG device. Founded in Ulm in 1919, the company in 2016 employed 800 people and had revenues of about 230 million Euro.[2] Production was based in Uttenweiler since 1963 but was shifted to Hungary and the Far East,[2] with Uttenweiler becoming the company's main logistics center in Germany in 2011.[1] The company also grew by acquisitions, taking over British electric blanket manufacturer Winterwarm. Winterwarm's Birmingham plant was shut down in 2005 when manufacturing was moved to Hungary.[3]
