Company Profile

The Buchen Group is among the leading industrial service companies in Europe.

With about 2.500 employees, the Buchen Group generated sales of approx. 290 million euros in 2010 in its three divisions: industrial service, waste disposal and remediation.

Founded in 1844, the company began to focus on industrial cleaning in 1965. Since then, it has operated wherever refineries, chemical groups and heavy industry are to be found. The Buchen Group has locations all over Europe. It believes in close customer proximity and systematic specialisation according to its customers' wishes.

As well as industrial cleaning and shutdown management, the company's extensive range of services includes a large number of specialties such as a tank service, catalyst handling, mobile sludge dewatering, and power station and nuclear services.

Reflecting the quantities of waste requiring special supervision that arise during almost all assignments, special waste disposal is the second mainstay of BUCHEN's range of services.

Remediation is a further major sector. For the huge range of different remediation projects, Buchen develops technically astute and economical solutions in close cooperation with its customers and the relevant authorities.

The BUCHEN Group is a member of the REMONDIS AG & Co. KG group of companies, one of the largest privately owned service enterprises in the water and recycling sector.
