Our Company

Enlightening answers adding value

Our profile

We no longer need to ponder Newton’s law of gravity. Or rather, how to overcome it. In aircraft construction, the answers to this are well known. Our answer lies in the concept of lightness. Lightness is the guiding principle and the driving force for everything we develop, plan and implement for you in Fällanden (Switzerland), Sinn-Fleisbach (Germany) and Everett (USA). At these locations, innovative custom lightweight solutions for aviation, air rescue, rail traffic, and vehicle construction are created.

The Bucher Group consists of three companies, all of which operate globally from their respective locations. They complement each other perfectly, especially thanks to their active exchange of know-how and experience. In this way, Bucher can deliver added value to its customers.

Our product and service areas are: Catering, Cabin, Emergency Medical Systems (EMS), Rail, and Automotive/VIP. Bucher solutions and products are used by Airbus, Boeing, Pilatus and other aircraft, as well as by the SBB.

Our history

Success stories usually start with new ideas and a healthy dose of passion. This was also the case when Bucher started in Fällanden, Switzerland, in 1953. Starting from a groundbreaking innovation, Bucher quickly had a portfolio of unique products, all based on light aluminium structures, enabling significant cost advantages for aviation and other industrial sectors. These advantages became even more significant when equipment was developed and manufactured for specific customer and market requirements. This was made possible thanks to highly motivated specialists who worked with the utmost efficiency and precision.

Flying with minimal weight and maximum reliability: This was the goal with which Heinrich Bucher founded the company in 1953. We still follow Heinrich Bucher’s basic idea today with a unique lightweight construction approach. Thanks to our long-standing experience with aluminium and plastics, we can now offer a wide range of products.

Whether in development, production or project management – the guiding principle of innovation and passion for our customers and their requirements continues to inspire us every day. This guiding principle is reflected in all our solutions.
