Blaupunkt International GMBH

it all started with the blue dot.... in the 1920s blaupunkt still had another name. in 1923 - when radio broadcasting made its first sound in germany – the “ideal” company was founded in berlin. it first produced headphones. every single item was carefully tested by technicians and labeled with a quality symbol – the blue point. it did not take long before customers simply asked for the bluepoint-headphones. the quality symbol had turned into a trademark. in 1938 it eventually became the company's name. in 1932 the first european car radio of the ideal company, the model blaupunkt as 5, laid the foundation for the current automotive sound systems. until december 2008 the company had formed part of the bosch-group for more than sixty years. today blaupunkt offers a wide range of products in consumer lifestyle and beyond.
