An idea conquers the world<br />
Walter Bodart acquires <strong>bamix</strong> ®<br />
From 1967, sales figures slowly rose once again. At the Foire de<br />
Bruxelles 2,000 devices were sold, the highest number of sales at<br />
a trade fair so far. General Electric was unable to enjoy the success<br />
of the ESGE Group and decided to sell this off in 1971. As the<br />
most important buyer of <strong>bamix</strong> ® food processors, Walter Bodart<br />
purchased the production company in Switzerland with all rights<br />
for the <strong>bamix</strong> ® and ESGE Zauberstab ® (magic wand). After this,<br />
Mettlen, Thurgovia became the sole production site in the world<br />
for the <strong>bamix</strong> ® .<br />
Walter Bodart’s decisions and management style continue to<br />
char acterise the company to this day. His strategy was based on<br />
quality rather than quantity, and to clear commitment to a single<br />
product. At the same time, he greatly reduced the volume of administration<br />
work. He therefore restarted the success story of<br />
the <strong>bamix</strong> ® and continues to influence this today.
