History of the Buehrer AG (since 1964)

Profit from over 43 years of metal coating experience! We offer wire arc spraying, powder and wire flame spraying and now even High Velocity Oxygen-Fuel (HVOF).

1964

Richard Buehrer founded the company. Already in the first years not only the flame and powder spraying process was used, but also the new electric-arc coating process, characterised by a outstanding adhesion, a good cutting property and a 3 times higher strength.

1974

With the purchase of turning lathe and cylindrical-surface grinding machine now also the necessary finishing could be implemented.

1988

The private company was converted into a corporation.

1994

Martin Buehrer takes over the management. The company name changed to BUEHRER AG.

1998

 Investment into the robot technology. New large surfaces with a even metal distribution are possible.

1999

Because of a short-circuit the whole workroom burned out. After only one month of intensive reorganization, coating work is possible again. We celebrate the reopening of the enterprise with our customers.

2001

On 18 March Richard Buehrer, founder and board of directors president of the BUEHRER AG, died after short serious illness.

2002

 Moving into the larger premises to the Lauetstrasse in Otelfingen, where we work with the new OSU electric-arc spraying plant and an ABB 6-axis industrial robot.

The new webpage is online, BUEHRER AG is now 24h present.

2004

We invest again in an additional ABB industrial robot with track. Rolls up to a diameter of 700mm and with a llength of 4500mm or a 1.5 x 4m area can evenly be coated. For even denser and reproducable coatings a new generation of electric arc spray equipment has been introduced.

2006

We need to extend the workshop space and invest into a 4-axis Korradi CNC milling machine for parts up to 400 kg.

2007

BUEHRER AG invests in new High Velocity Oxygen-Fuel (HVOF) thermal spray technology to widen the spectrum of available coatings.
