History

Büchi AG was founded in 1946 by the brothers Jakob Büchi and Hermann Büchi senior. Already three years after the foundation of the company, the two entrepreneurs identified the needs of the market and developed the first “büchiflex” ball and socket system - a new, flexible and interchangeable connection system for glass piping. This unique combination of individual functional components and highly corrosion-resistant borosilicate glass was immediately and universally accepted in the chemical industry.

Pressure reactors (stirred autoclaves) made of metal materials or glass, which were developed later, also quickly became a standard item in companies of the chemical and pharmaceutical industry as well as in research organizations.

The company is still family owned and is headed by Silvio Büchi in the 3rd generation.

Suppliers and Subcontractors

We aim for a fair cooperation with our suppliers and subcontractors. We use the possibilities of worldwide procurement to ensure time and cost-efficient supply in the required qualities and sufficient quantities. We consequently assert the fulfillment of our high standards related to quality, delivery reliability, costs and procurement terms and conditions.

Society and Environment

We honor our responsibility to society, acknowledge human rights and are commited to fulfill our obligations related to environmental protection.

We respect the interests of all stakeholders related to our company including customers, employees, distributors, suppliers and the society.

Compliance with all norms, rules and laws relevant to our company is an integral part of the operational processes and our leadership culture.
