The story
The Johann Bucher Guyer Griessen machine company was founded in 1923 in Griessen, today a community in Klettgau-Griessen, Germany in the County of Waldshut. The company had already been in existence in Switzerland since 1807. In 1952 the German company was turned into a private limited partnership and later into a limited liability corporation.
From the 1970s onwards and especially from the mid-1990s the company expanded to cover foreign markets by opening production and distribution branches and by company acquisitions. Currently it maintains its own subsidiaries in France, the United Kingdom, Italy, Switzerland, Taiwan, the United States, Turkey, Brazil, China and India.
Their acquisitions include the Italian company "Hidroirma" (1994), "Beringer Hydraulik" in Neuheim, Switzerland (1996), "Hydrotechnik" in Frutigen, Switzerland and "Dingkind" in Taiwan (1997), "Truninger AG" in Solothurn, Switzerland (2000), "Monarch Hydraulics" (2007) and "Command Controls" (2008) in the United States, and "Eco Sistemas" (2013) in Brazil.
The Bucher Hydraulik corporate group was formed in 1996 with its business management in Klettgau-Grießen. Bucher Hydraulics became the company's umbrella brand name in 2001.
