Bühler Group’s business performance was stable in a volatile market environment, it increased profitability, kept turnover stable, and invested into the future. While the turnover of the food and feed business continued to grow, Advanced Materials had to cope with a decline, mainly caused by the current weakness of the global automotive industry and ongoing international trade conflicts. Our multi-pillar strategy has proven its worth under difficult conditions.
Every day, billions of people come into contact with Bühler technologies to cover their basic needs for food and mobility, and more. Our technologies are in your smartphone, solar panels, diapers, lipstick, banknotes, the foods you eat, and the vehicles you drive. We strive to create innovations for a better world, with a special focus on healthy, safe, and sustainable solutions.

It is obvious that global challenges regarding climate change and mobility are accelerating and becoming increasingly urgent. Climate change, the protein gap, loss of biodiversity, and population growth – all will have a greater impact if we don’t act now as individuals, businesses, and industries to drive change.
