Welcome to BORT GmbH

BORT GmbH - a company portrait

It all began in 1981 with Irmgard and Rudi Bort along with three part-time employees in rented premises in Schorndorf. Today, BORT GmbH develops, manufactures and sells high-quality medical products, in particular supports and braces, the majority of which are prescribed by doctors and refunded by the health insurance companies.

A staff of approximately 70, including a 20-strong sales team, is currently employed at the company's headquarters in Weinstadt. A further 110 employees based at two other locations in Germany manufacture around 90 percent of the total of 200 medical products developed and sold by BORT.

The company's current management team of Rudi Bort, Wolfgang Bort and Ewald Dambacher is united: "We want our staff to be happy and to enjoy working in the company" - this attitude towards staff has a strong influence on how colleagues interact at the company and is reflected by real action along with an extremely low staff turnover rate. Many staff members have already celebrated 20 years of service at Bort.

And it's not just the management and staff that enjoy the positive development of this medium-sized company - the town of Weinstadt is also delighted to have a company such as BORT and welcomes the style of "care for the future" for which senior director Rudi Bort is renowned. In December 2002, BORT acquired an adjoining 11,000 square metre premises to provide for future expansion of the company's headquarters.
