Company history

The origin of Bohnacker lies at the source of the 'Blau' river, the Blautopf spring near Blaubeuren in Baden-Württemberg, southern Germany. This was where the native Austrian Franz Heindler founded a planning office for shop interiors in 1982. His vision: cost-effective and flexible shop outfitting in the form of modular systems.

 Supported by just one employee for planning, he first furnished toy shops, as well as shoe and stationary shops. In 1984 Franz Heindler expanded and rented office and storage rooms in Blaubeuren. As the company expanded continuously, space soon became scarce. So Heindler became creative and promptly rented disused railway carriages as storage space.
