Company history

Consistently good service leads to our satisfied customers - since 1981

A short overview of our stations as battery wholesaler:

»1981

Hermann Bauer founded his photo wholesale business in Obernzell near Passau. The office was still in the residential building back then - over the years Bauer Batteries was able to build up a large clientele. At that time, there was mainly demand for Duracell batteries, which Hermann was able to procure for his customers quickly and easily.
