We exclusively use selected raw materials of European origin. Collaboration with local partners reinforce these high standards. Over the years, we have managed to increasingly expand our portfolio.

Expertise in leather

It was in 1875 that Paul Wilhelm Bantlin, the great-grandson of company founder Georg David, established the company Bantlin, which still exists today in similar form, along the bank of the Echaz River, on Emil-Adolff-Straße (Emil-Adolff Street) in Reutlingen. The company consisted of a tannery and a factory for drive belts and saddlery products. At the time, Bantlin created the leather himself by means of pit tanning. This technical know-how, developed over decades, and the comprehensive specific knowledge of special product features benefit our customers today.

OUR CUSTOMERS

Due to a sales structure that has evolved over decades, our products are now used not only in Europe, but worldwide. Our customers include both small and medium-sized businesses, technical wholesale and leading corporations.

In the meantime, the company has made a name of itself at a regional and national level as a service provider for industrial assembly in the areas of drive belts and conveyor belts. The global clientele, from South Africa to Brazil and Russia, varies widely and includes major electronics corporations, representatives of the Scandinavian furniture industry, sawmills and wood-processing companies, special and printing machine manufacturing, the jewellery industry, hydroelectric power stations and recycling plants, technical wholesale, dog sports and horse-riding, local carnival clubs, and industrial museums.
