Dear customers, partners, and employees,
The year 2025 was characterized by significant uncertainty leading to ongoing market volatility. Increasing trade barriers and a cautious investment climate shaped the global investment goods landscape. Despite this, Bühler continued to invest, showing resilience, foresight, and agility. With our extensive, innovative product range, strong customer service, and worldwide presence, we managed to capture opportunities in growing markets and expand our market share in key segments of our business.
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.
As a Swiss family enterprise with 165 years of history, we are driven by a strong sense of purpose – creating innovations for a better world. The charter of our owner-family defines our values and long-term objectives: further developing Bühler as an independent family company and generating fair profitability, enabling the company to continue investing in innovation, education, and global infrastructure to best serve our customers. We uphold the Bühler family ethos of respect, integrity, and fairness and act with social, cultural, and ecological responsibility towards employees, customers, and business partners. We exercise ethical corporate governance, respecting local roots, while taking a global perspective. Our values of trust, ownership, and passion are the behavioral principles for all Bühler employees and underpin everything we do, providing a framework for how we achieve our goals and collaborate.
We see profitable growth as a prerequisite for creating positive impact. Our aim is to strengthen our market positions globally as a technology leader, while balancing the needs of humanity, nature, and economy in all our decision-making processes. In choosing Bühler as their partner for processing technologies and services, 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. Our comprehensive range of services is designed to further improve the performance and efficiency of our customers’ assets. With a global setup and presence in all major markets, Bühler works to remain a reliable partner for our customers worldwide.
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.
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.
