Since 1913, one natural and versatile material has been at the heart of Baur: wool. What began in Bavaria's Dinkelsbühl with a fulling mill and wool laundry has grown into a corporate group that now supplies customers across Europe with premium, sustainable wool products from its headquarters.
Now in its fourth generation of family leadership, few companies can match our expertise in wool processing. Because it's our understanding of wool's qualities that shapes product possibilities – while meticulous craftsmanship determines their quality. This knowledge, combined with decades of experience, forms the foundation for innovations like our WOOPIES acoustic solutions. Friedrich Bauer, founder and owner of Baur Akustik and Swisswool, isn't just an entrepreneur – he's a creative visionary and wool pioneer from the very beginning.
From the self-organized, local sourcing of wool across various Swiss regions to manufacturing wool felt panels at our Dinkelsbühl headquarters, all the way to domestic processing with artisanal quality - the entire production and value chain remains in our hands. This is how we guarantee the highest quality standards for our products.
In our modern manufactory in Langensteinbach, a small team crafts each acoustic product through extensive handwork, supported by press machines and a specialized cutter. Every step demands experience, care, and precision - because only flawless, premium-quality, and durable products leave our facility.
Our passion for wool as a raw material, combined with uncompromising quality standards, ensures each panel is perfectly tailored to the client's project - meeting the most demanding requirements for room acoustics and indoor climate.
Noisy offices, incomprehensible conversations or disturbing noise – all of this can be avoided with the help of professional room acoustics consulting. Our acoustics experts take measurements in accordance with DIN ISO 3382-02, evaluate the reverberation time and work with you to plan the right solution. The specially developed WOOPIES Room Acoustics Planner (RAP) visualises the measured values and forms the basis for tailor-made and functional room acoustics concepts.
