Muehlmeier, the bra cup engineering expert
Tamas Bödöcs, CEO and Head of Sales of the German company, shared his expertise in bra cup engineering at the Interfilière Paris conference.
Though invisible, the cup may be the most important component in lingerie. A core element of the bra structure, it determines support, comfort and aesthetics. This is why Muehlmeier treats it as a true piece of engineering, in an effort to optimize the entire value chain.

It now works with over 1 000 partners worldwide, including Etam, Aubade, Calida, Speidel and Maison Lejaby.
