As the inventor of the hand blender, with its unique, ergonomic shape, bamix® has been inspiring cooks around the globe since 1954. We would like to welcome you to the bamix® family and thank you on behalf of our employees for your purchase. We hope you enjoy using your bamix®.
“ The motor is the heart for extraordinary performance ” At the very beginning of the manufacturing process, we check every single component of the motor to ensure its faultless production, because the motor is the centre and heart of every bamix® it is crucial for the powerful and efficient performance.
“ As precise as Swiss clockwork ” In order for the motor to develop its full power, it must run absolutely smoothly and be perfectly balanced. Each of our employees is responsible for this and ensures that everything is in perfect balance.
“ Lifelong quality through elaborate work done by hand ” With bamix® we don’t take the easy way. All individual parts are soldered to the motor, this elaborate work done by hand. This is the only way to guarantee that nothing will corrode and that our high demands on the product and its durability are met.
“ We celebrate craftsmanship ” The trained eye and many years of experience of the well-rehearsed team are an invaluable skill for completing the motor on the motor assembly line. Experience and careful craftsmanship are indispensable for perfect and flawless quality.
“ The motor is the heart of every bamix® ” Over 350,000 motors per year pass through our hands. We have a feel for how each individual motor has to be centred so that it functions smoothly and lasts a lifetime. And we’ve been doing this every day for more than 65 years.
“ Craftsmanship in perfection ” An important step is the connection of the stainless steel drive shaft with the motor. This is carried out by hand every day with the greatest precision. A matter of course for bamix®.
“ Workshop 4.0 ” In the automated age, we rely on accurate and solid handwork. We solder cables and switches in the final assembly and install the handle as well as the housing. The result is an all-round perfect product.
“ Before a bamix® runs the first time ” The last step finalises the perfect assembly of the bamix®. After screwing the housing together, the cutter guard is attached and checked for a solid fit.
“ Guaranteed function thanks to perfected final inspection ” Each bamix® is connected to the power supply and then, while running at full power, is forced down all the way to zero. This unique full-load test and the many years of experience of our qualified staff guarantee the perfect functioning of the bamix®.
“ From beginning to end with great passion ” Packaged with love - that’s what we pay special attention to. Each bamix® is inspected closely once more and carefully placed in the packaging before being shipped from Mettlen to locations all over the world.
Brilliantly simple. Simply brilliant. Since 1954.
