We make things happen.

Dear customers, partners, and colleagues,

At Bühler, we actively shape our future. In 2024, rather than simply react to the volatile world around us, we continued to invest in the further development of our company, reinforcing our standing across markets and industries. We proactively strengthened our core businesses, invested in our global network of research and training centers, launched new products, services, and solutions, and formed new partnerships. To do this, investments into our asset base were at the same level as the prior year and our expenses in research and development remained high. We did all of this with the objective of contributing to the success of our customers. 

Value Creation Model

The Value Creation Model illustrates how Bühler creates value for customers, employees, bondholders, business partners, and owners by unlocking sustainable business opportunities in the global food, feed, and automotive industries. It shows how we seek to balance humanity, nature, and economy in every decision and how this translates into outcomes for wider society and the environment.

Strategy

Our purpose: Innovations for a better world

As a Swiss family enterprise with 164 years of history, 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 – fostering innovation, education, independence, sustainability, and the long-term profitable development of the company. It acts as our normative lighthouse. 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. We see profitable growth as a prerequisite for creating positive impact for a better world. This conviction guides our investments in the future development of our company, in innovative products and services, and in sustainability as well as in the development, education, training, and safety of our employees worldwide.

In choosing Bühler, our customers benefit from enhanced business performance with higher productivity and yields, resulting in better returns on their investment as well as positive environmental impacts. They also benefit from our comprehensive services, including education and training for their employees at our schools and application centers, and services that further improve the performance and efficiency of Bühler solutions. Last but not least, they benefit from the reliability and the global setup of Bühler, in all major markets and continents of the planet.

Partnerships with purpose

Bühler has consciously driven an ecosystem-based approach to innovation for more than 15 years with the goal of forming businesses that contribute to solving some of the burning issues of our times. Through collaboration we can do this faster. Today, our growing global network of academic partners, start-ups, NGOs, customers, and suppliers contribute to delivering pioneering technology and business solutions that help to meet the needs of a growing global population sustainably. Here are some examples of our many partnerships.

Governance

Bühler follows international standards of corporate governance. Its corporate governance activities are based on the principles of the Swiss Code of Best Practice – an instrument for clearly defining internal powers and responsibilities and optimally designing the interaction between the Board of Directors, the Executive Board, and the Group Internal Audit.
