More than 100 years of tradition

How it began

More than 100 years of tradition combined with a young and ambitious spirit.

It all began in 1899, in Betzingen near to Reutlingen where Daniel Braun and Jakob Kemmler started their cooperation. Both of them had their own 'Flaschnerei' but they decided to bring their strengths together and at that moment BEKA was born. The brand was established in the same time period as Mercedes, Siemens and Bayer - other flagships of German industry.

Later on, Mr Braun and Mr Kemmler took the decision to leave Betzingen and to move to a bigger production plant in Tübingen.

In the following years BEKA achieved a well established brand name in Germany and other countries. World wide obtained patents helped in expanding the company.

Today

In 1991 BEKA France was established to strengthen the global market position even more. The warehouse in Wittisheim functions as the main distribution point for all European BEKA-customers.
In 2000 BEKA was bought by a Belgian industrial group, Allinox. The core of the staff consists of several European nationalities, professionally trained and committed to the industry.
