Company description
Multiblitz Dr. Ing. D.A. Mannesmann
MULTIBLITZ Dr. Ing. D.A. Mannesmann GmbH was founded by inventor and entrepreneur Dr. Mannesmann in 1948 in Cologne, Germany, and is one of the worlds leading manufacturers of state-of-the-art studio flash lighting. The first ever Multiblitz strobe, in fact the first German electronic flash unit ever, was the Multiblitz I built in 1948. In the 50's and 60's Multiblitz strobes like the MULTIBLITZ REPORTER II or the MULTIBLITZ PRESS UNIVERSAL were extremely popular among press photographers. Since 1973, Multiblitz has been managed by visionary engineer and CEO Hans-Gerd Wulms and has grown to become one of the world’s leading companies for premium studio lighting. Under Wulms, Multiblitz forever changed the studio lighting world when it introduced the industry’s first compact studio light, the now legendary MINISTUDIO 202 in 1976. Since then, Wulms and Multiblitz are accountable for many inventions and products that were well ahead of their time including the most successful PROFILITE and VARIOLITE systems, and the famed PROFILUX studio light with its lightweight yet rugged design and consistent peak performance in the 90s. Today, a broad range of Multiblitz equipment is used by leading professional photographers around the world.With over 60 years of experience in developing premium studio lighting equipment, Multiblitz is the most experienced manufacturer for photographic lighting equipmentin the world. We take pride in the fact that we are the only European brand that is solely manufacturing award-winning products in Germany.
