Compounding is an omnipresent process in the processing industry. Most plastics, elastomers, bitumen, paints and coatings, but also products such as chewing gum, chocolate or even aluminum would not exist without compounding technology. We combine some very different substances into materials with exceptional properties, thus helping our customers to develop new products which are fit for the future. Products used for numerous applications in the plastics, aluminum, chemicals and foodstuffs industries such as for batteries, vehicle components or in the medicinal field.
We are innovative
…so that our customers can also be innovative.
Who invented it? BUSS had its Co-Kneader Technology patented in 1945 and has continued to develop it ever since.
