"Tubular core technology was developed in the late 1950's by Hanseatische Flugzeugwerke in Hamburg and Lonza in Switzerland. When Lonza decided to divest itself of this new product development, it was Mr. Bauer - at that time the leading project engineer on this new tubular honeycomb technology - who purchased the technology and set up Tubus Bauer GmbH in 1972 in Wallbach, Germany. The first market for Tubus Core applications was the refrigeration industry, since the laminarization of airflow is very critical to manufacturing an economically refrigerated showcase. It did not take long for Tubus Bauer to become the sole source for this industry and, within a few years, Tubus Core was used by all major manufacturers of refrigeration display cases in Europe. This new technology spread - basically only through word-of-mouth - and established itself in the European market of vertical refrigeration display cases."
