From Normandy to Global Leadership
Founded in 1978 in Dives-sur-Mer, Normandy, near the historic D-Day landing beaches in northwestern France, BAM is an industry-leading manufacturer of fine musical instrument cases. The company began focusing primarily on wind instrument cases but now serves musicians worldwide with its innovative and premium-grade products.
A New Era with Robert and Katja Goetz
In 2010, Robert Goetz took the helm of BAM and transformed it into a global brand by emphasizing modern designs, innovation, and sheer quality. Robert and his wife Katja — BAM’s head of marketing, design, and communication — have shaped BAM’s distinctive identity by blending traditional craftsmanship with advanced, forward-thinking technologies. This philosophy results in top-of-the-line cases that provide optimal protection for your instrument in every environment.
Quality, Innovation, and Comfort
BAM’s cutting-edge product design pairs high-quality, durable composites and dense foam materials with lightweight and ergonomic designs. This formula provides your instrument with maximum protection from shocks, humidity, and temperature fluctuations. Moreover, BAM’s cases offer complete comfort and practicality for busy musicians on the move.
A Wide and Tailored Product Range
Boasting 38 distinct product lines, BAM offers musicians a wide-ranging selection of cases that ideally balance functionality with aesthetics. Whether you’re a professional performer or an amateur musician, BAM’s reinforced handles, ergonomic straps, and optimized weight distribution allow you to protect your instrument in comfort and with the utmost security.
Precision Manufacturing and Stringent Quality Control
The majority of BAM’s manufacturing takes place in France, aided by additional facilities in Kosovo and Thailand. By utilizing innovative technologies such as composite material injection and in-house seal production, these top-shelf facilities build instrument cases with surgically precise craftsmanship and superior, long-lasting quality.
A Legacy of Excellence
The commitment to supporting musicians with safe, stylish, and durable cases that BAM was built on remains just as strong more than 45 years down the line. The key to its success lies in BAM’s genuine care for the instruments of the world’s music makers, and it prides itself on keeping the joy of music alive for generations to come.
