Before more than 5.000 years the Summerer at the old orient invented the soap, already. Since these days people all over the world have been faszinated by soap bubbles. Paintings from centuries ago are showing soap bubbles. Bubbles have been depicted as children toy but also as a symbol of lifes fleetingness and fragility. Shape, color and movements of bubbles have inspired humens, always.

In old paintings children are making a single magic bubble with tools like a straw or a meerschaum pipe. The paintings teach us that the soap needed to be mixed in a separate pot, always.

1948 Germany faced hunger and was in a state of destruction after the war. Cities and factrories laid in rubble and ash. The money was worthless and the barter was booming. Chemist Dr. Rolf Hein experimented with washing powder, which he exchanged for food on the farmlands around Tübingen. Through his experiments Dr. Hein discovered a liquid perfect for making bubbles as well. He wanted all Children to experience the fascination and wonder of the colorful iridescent, floating bubbles without the inconvenience of the past days. His goal was to create a complete bubble toy including liquid, container and blowing tool. The German economy developped with the start of the German Mark and encouraged Dr. Hein to start with his toy factory. Using the yellow teddy bear of his kids as symbol he established the trade mark PUSTFEIX for bubble toys.

The original PUSTEFIX was a small labeled aluminium tube with a natural cork as sealant. The bubble wand was made from a steel metal spring attached to a metal pin placed into the cork. This version of PUSTEFIX could not be stored for a longer time or shipped over long distance. The aluminium and the metal spring combined with the liquid caused a chemical reaktion compareable to a battery and the wand was decomposed after a short time. The cork was not very tight and leaked due to it porous nature. The slightest spill of liquid caused the label to despatch.

Around 1960 alle these disadvantages were overcome with the use of plastic. Since then, PUSTEFIX can be stored indefinitely, is sealed tightly and the printing of the logo is executed directly on the plastic containers. This changes have been the preconditions to ship PUSTEFIX over long distances and to supply perfect quality in countries far away as well.

In 1973 Gerold Peter Hein assumed ownership of PUSTEFIX from his father. However he faced a great problem the time he took over the company. Germany experienced a drop in his birth-rate and this reduced number of kids had his effect in a decrease of PUSTEFIX sales. Therefore, the strategie was changed to force the export of PUSTEFIX. In addition to the Europeans neighbors PUSTEFIX started to be very successful in the United States and Japan.

Since the 80's PUSTEFIX is available in more and more countries like Singapore, Russia, Kasachstan, Korea, South-Afrika and also some exotic Southsea islands. At the same time the range of PUSTEFIX bubble toys was expanded. Beginning from the original bubble toy, now a complete line of bubble toys was developped.

Searching for new markets for the famous PUSTEFIX bubble toys PUSTEFIX was discovered as a sympathic promotion item. The new marketing company SUCCESS - successful promotion with fun was founded to offer PUSTEFIX toys customized with individual prints as a promotional give away.

50 years after establishing PUSTEFIX by the grandfather, Frank Wolfgang Hein did take over the leadership from his father in 1998. By now the company is in the third generation family owned.
