We are a family business since 1899.
Since the end of the 19th century, or more precisely since 1899, today's Philipp Bazlen GmbH with headquarters in Metzingen has been in existence.
The family business, which is now managed by the fourth generation, has experienced a lot over the years and above all has learned a lot.
And it is precisely this experience that both we and you benefit from: ideas and trends will be combined with our knowledge and our expertise
at our location in Metzingen.
