Back home and back to reality—but still thinking about our time at Blum last week.

Beyond their commitment to innovation and quality craftsmanship, what stood out most was their investment in the next generation. Blum’s 4-year apprenticeship programs for high school students, spanning 11 different trades around the world, are shaping not only the future of these young professionals—but the future of the company itself.

Impressive doesn’t quite cover it.

Exploring the many displays at Blum—where smart design meets everyday function. Plenty of inspiration and ideas to bring better living into every space. ✨

Over the past two days, we’ve had the privilege of touring Blum’s Austria facilities—gaining insight into their rich history and the impressive way they invest in the future through their apprenticeship program. More to come on that soon.

But today’s highlight? An unforgettable evening at Propstei St. Gerold—over 1,000 years of history, and every bit as breathtaking as you’d imagine.

Global reach. Precision engineering. Sustainability that actually means something.

Blum isn’t just hardware—it’s performance at scale:
• 120+ markets worldwide
• 30+ subsidiaries
• 2,100+ patents
• 35,000 testing & measuring devices
• Hinges tested to 200,000 cycles

And they back it up:
• 100% hydroelectric-powered production
• ISO 14001 certified since 1997
• Long-term investment in apprenticeships, training, and green infrastructure

This is what happens when craftsmanship meets accountability.

Blum’s story starts back in 1952, crafting horseshoe studs before moving into furniture hinges—and by 1964, cabinet hinges that would define their name. Blum didn’t just evolve, they engineered every step of the way.

Today, they employ nearly 10,000 people across Europe, the U.S., Brazil, and China, continuing to shape the details behind great cabinetry.

Small beginnings. Big legacy.

Kicking off tours with a behind-the-scenes look at the craftsmanship, engineering, and attention to detail that set the standard in our industry.

From concept to cabinet, this is where the magic starts. Stay tuned.
