Annual Report 2023
Bühler proved to be a reliable partner for our customers, partners, employees, and major stakeholders around the world in a business year that turned out to be very volatile and dynamic. Key to this reliability is our broad portfolio of processing solutions and services – the result of consistent innovation efforts in good times and bad – combined with our global network and presence. These established success factors proved yet again to be stabilizing forces in markets which were subject to major changes.

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.
Our purpose: Innovations for a better world

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. 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, into innovative products and services, as well as in the development, education, and training of our people. In this context, the safety of employees has ultimate priority.
