BAUMAis short for construction machines in German. BAUMAalso stands, of course, for the largest trade fair for construction machinery, building and mining machines in the world (held in Munich once every three years).
But for us BAUMA stands for one thing above all: Bernhard, Alexander Und Matthias Albert.
We in the Albert family have a long tradition of dealing in construction machinery. Heinrich Albert first began dealing in trucks in 1956. Later he specialised in construction machinery. His son Bernhard Albert continued the tradition, setting up independently in 1974. The BAUMA hire and trading company (Vermiet und Handels GmbH) was founded in 1994. Bernhard’s elder son Alexander Albert joined his father in the business in 1995. A year later, his second son Matthias started working for the company. The family firm was complete when Bernhard’s daughter Mareike B. Albert joined forces with her brothers in 2002. So our successful family business now spans three generations.
