COMPANY PRESENTATION
Innovation and top quality since 1984
When Dr. Jochen Bauer formed an independent company from a former joint venture in 1984, his primary business was delivering innovative technologies within the area of starch proces-sing to customers in the central European paper industry.
Starting with only six employees, BVG has grown to become a worldwide producer of highly innovative and automated chemical handling systems that serves several industries with a main focus for the paper-manufacturing and paper-converting industry.
Today, BVG (Bauer Verfahrenstechnik GmbH) generates approximately 15 million Euros annually with over 60 employees. Headquartered in Bavaria, BVG also has subsidiaries in the United States and China.
History of the Company
Technique & technology
Today, the family business at Lake Ammer (Greifenberg) near Munich is a full-line supplier of processing equipment, as well as a supplier of chemicals used in paper production. With up to 100 projects per year and over 750 customers, BVG has grown from its modest beginnings into a full service company capable of providing everything from starch cookers to chemical preparation plants up to coating kitchens.
A core component of BVG’s business is “in situ” (on-site) technology, enabling relocation of processing. From external suppliers directly to the manufacturer with fully automatic plant solutions. This trend provides besides highest cost effectiveness new levels of product optimization as well as unique product features. On-site processing enables the mill to process economical commodity products that are widely available rather than products produced by a few suppliers only. Therefore pre-processing costs, costs for additional drying steps and transportation costs can be reduced as well.
To give some examples:
- Native (pearl) starch instead of modified starch
- Dry pigment powder or even raw pigment instead of pigment slurry products
- Basic chemicals such as fatty acid and caustic soda instead of finished soap
