Development History
Hanns
Baumann, since 1956, has been personally involved in the development of more
than 30 new products for the construction industry. He has invented numerous products himself and holds 7 US patents. He is also registered as co-inventor on 2 US
patents, and has helped many inventors of construction innovations to develop
and market their inventions.
He has designed, and often supervised construction of, thousands of structures using the products he has invented and helped other inventors to develop, in 10 countries, on 3 continents.
