Blaupunkt GmbH was formed in 1923 as a wholly owned subsidiary of German company Robert Bosch GmbH. Based in Hildesheim, Germany, Blaupunkt became a leading manufacturer of car radio and audio equipment in the 1960s and 70s. Consequently the movement into mobile phones was a natural progression for the company.

The Blaupunkt HandyCom 582 was released in 1992. It provided all of the basic phone functions including redial, an address book memory that could store up to 99 names and telephone numbers and a range of feature menus that provided access to functions such as security, call handling, tones, timers and a signal strength meter.
