B&W International GmbH was established in 1998 as, in effect, the overseas sourcing arm of the bwh Koffer group, a firm established in 1983. bwh is considered to be Germany's premier specialist case maker for both industry and the professions.

B&W are now based in an all new office in Ibbenbüren, Germany, though bwh are still in Hörstel-Bevergen in Westphalia, Germany.

Both "B&W" and "bwh" are quality approved to
ISO 9001 : 2000.

The majority of B&W products are designed in Germany but "Made in China". Thanks to the relative costs of Chinese tooling and labour, but without any reduction in quality whatsoever, you'll find that B&W products offer superb value, with the potential for almost unlimited volume runs as well as own branding.
