FIVE DECADES OF HISTORY

EXPERIENCED & CONSISTENT

BITZER + SINGLE as a large and important component supplier to the clothing and textile industry can look back on a history of five decades. The most important milestones are:

1. September 1961 Erwin Bitzer und Hanns Single open a sales agency for texile accessories in Albstadt-Ebingen. The operating range is a textile center in southern Germany. First rented offices in Albstadt-Ebingen's Gartenstrasse. The following years bring a continuous expansion. Additional services require larger warehouse and office capacities.
1970 Move the first owned premises in Albstadt-Ebingen's Schmiechastrasse.
1981 Further growth induce the management to change the legal form of the business to a limited company.
1990-1991 The German reunification brings a boom and another extension is necessary.
1991 Beginning of the construction activities for a new company building in Albstadt-Lautlingen.
1993 Move to the new, ample and prestigious premises in Albstadt-Lautlingen where optimal working conditions are available. Mid of the 1990s a restructuring of the product range begins with more focus on fabrics, particularly premium stretch fabrics for corsetry, lingerie and swimwear. Simultaneously expansion of the activities to the whole German speaking area including Austria and Switzerland.
1996 Start of the alteration of generations and the transition of the management. Hartmut Single is appointed Managing Director in place of his father.
1997 Bernhard Freund is appointed Managing Director in place of Erwin Bitzer, his father-in-law.

2016 Intensive marketing efforts, adaptations of the product portfolio and good cooperation with our suppliers lead to the highest turnover in the history of the company.
