Innovations for a better world


As a Swiss family enterprise with a history of 163 years, we are driven by a strong sense of purpose, and our strategy is based on deeply held values. Our purpose is to create innovations for a better world. The charter of our owner family defines our long-term objectives and acts as our normative lighthouse. And our values of trust, ownership, and passion are the behavioral principles for all Bühler employees worldwide. Based on this, we have set goals for the coming years to strengthen our positions in our markets globally as a technology leader, while balancing the needs of humanity, nature, and economy in all our decision-making processes.

Attaining our goals is only possible with a skilled, educated, and passionate workforce. Therefore, we invest in our people and in so doing, contribute to improving their skills, and their future perspectives. At Bühler, we care for each other, and safety is a top priority.

We never compromise on health and safety for our own employees, or the employees of our customers and our partners. In this way, we bring together purpose, people, and performance to accelerate impact for a better world.
