Bauhaus home improvement and gardening products

Bauhaus is a major European retail chain specializing in products for home improvement, gardening, and workshops. Founded in 1960 in Mannheim, Germany, by Heinz-Georg Baus, it was inspired by the American model of DIY 'do-it-yourself' stores, being the first of its kind in Europe to bring various specialty departments—such as hardware, paint, and garden supplies—under one roof.

Today, Bauhaus operates hundreds of stores across Europe and parts of Asia. While many of its products are sourced globally from various third-party suppliers, the company maintains a strong network of house brands. The company remains privately held by the Baus family, ensuring a consistent business strategy focused on the specialty retail sector. Its headquarters are currently located in Belp, Switzerland, though its operational roots remain deeply tied to Germany.
