History
The company was founded in 1807 when Heinrich Bucher-Weiss (1784-1850) took over a forge in Murzeln in Niederweningen.[6] The forge was subsequently operated by three generations and registered in the Company register in 1874. At the end of the 19th century, Bucher also began to sell agricultural machinery from foreign manufacturers.[10]
Bucher expanded its activities during the first half of the 20th century. In 1951, the former family business was changed into a joint-stock company.[11]
In 1984, the group of companies gave itself a holding structure. In 1986, it was opened to the public and went public. At that time, the Group generated sales of CHF 430 million and had 2,730 employees. The Initial public offering marked the beginning of Bucher's expansion and acquisition phase. This resulted in the division into today's four divisions and individual businesses starting in 1996.[11]
