The Bauerfeind Legacy
In 1929, Bruno Bauerfeind established the company in Zeleunroda, Germany. We were pioneers of medical-grade compression and specialised exclusively in compression stockings.
Then, in 1981, under the guidance of Hans B. Bauerfeind, we launched the first-ever GenuTrain Knee Brace and revolutionised the supports industry. He sketched the first GenuTrain concept while observing the German national soccer team during a match. Hans was an innovator and inventor, working with doctors and technicians to create unique padding, knit, and stay technologies.
Since the launch of the GenuTrain, we’ve been expanding our product offering into orthoses, compression braces, insoles, and sports supports. Our sports line launched in 2016, based on our own medical expertise and many years of helping elite athletes overcome injury and elevate their performance.
