Günter Blase began igus back on 15th October 1964 in a double garage in Cologne. For the first 20 years, the company worked as a supplier of complex technical polymer components. In 1983 Frank Blase established reinforced plastic Energy Chain cable carriers and injection-molded polymer bearings as two distinct product groups and set up a network of sales engineers. These seemingly unrelated products are linked together through the belief in making functionally advanced, yet affordable polymer components and assemblies. Between 1985 and 2008, igus has grown from 40 to more than 1,350 employees distributed between the head office in Germany and 26 subsidiary companies around the world. igus also has representative partners in more than 21 other countries.
