About bam bam barware
Founder: Mario Nestlehner

With over 18 years of experience in the catering industry, especially behind the bar, Mario knows the application of his products like the back of his hand. His passion for high-quality bar tools and his deep understanding of the needs of bartenders and cocktail lovers inspired him to create his own brand.

The Vision: Mario was inspired by his first trip to Southeast Asia and his enthusiasm for Asian culture and art. He wanted to develop a cocktail shaker made of bamboo that met the highest demands both aesthetically and functionally. After many years of trial and error and careful crafting, in 2019 he managed to produce the first series-ready and authentic bamboo shaker. This shaker marked the start of bam bam barware.

Philosophy: Mario attaches great importance to the fact that bam bam barware's products bring joy not only to professional bartenders, but also to private connoisseurs. The combination of high-quality workmanship, sustainable materials and well-thought-out design is at the heart of his work.

Mission: bam bam barware relies on innovative and environmentally friendly solutions for the restaurant and bar scene. By using bamboo and other sustainable materials, Mario wants to help reduce the consumption of single-use plastic while at the same time creating products that impress in both functionality and design.

Our product range is continually growing. From bamboo drinking straws to the latest bam bam products such as the bamboo jigger, the muddler or the strainer, we fulfill all wishes - from both bartenders and nature lovers. At bam bam, the focus is on the passion for bamboo and its sustainable and innovative applications in the world of bars.

Why bamboo?

Bamboo is one of the oldest building materials in human history - and for good reason: Due to its dense cell structure, bamboo is extremely hard and robust, which makes it resistant to pressure or impact. At the same time, bamboo is light and flexible.

In contrast to other companies, we do not import our raw materials to Europe to process them here. All of our products are produced directly in Vietnam. This allows us to ensure that regional service providers in the country of origin benefit from our company and our products.

Bamboo grows extremely quickly and therefore enables large quantities to be harvested annually without endangering the population. New plants continually sprout from the extensive root systems.

During its growth, bamboo binds significant amounts of CO2, which is stored in its biomass. Only small amounts of fertilizers or pesticides are required for cultivation because bamboo is extremely resilient. In addition, bamboo cultivation is largely carried out by small farmers and is not very industrialized. This means that the raw material bamboo is not only sustainable, but also climate-neutral. Our products contain neither melamine resin nor formaldehyde.
