The Busch Group is one of the world's largest manufacturers of vacuum pumps, vacuum systems, blowers, compressors, and exhaust gas cleaning systems.

It unites the two well-known brands Busch Vacuum Solutions and Pfeiffer Vacuum+Fab Solutions under one roof.

The exhaust gas cleaning systems previously offered by centrotherm clean solutions – a former brand of the Busch Group – are now part of the Pfeiffer portfolio.

Versatile solutions for numerous industries

The Busch Group's extensive range of products and services includes solutions for vacuum, overpressure and exhaust gas cleaning applications in a wide variety of industries, including:

• food
• semiconductors
• analytics
• chemicals
• plastics

This also includes the design and construction of customized vacuum systems and a global service network.

More than 8,000 employees in 44 countries worldwide work for the group, which manufactures its products in 23 of its own plants. 

Commitment to sustainability

The Busch Group is strongly committed to reducing its own energy consumption and producing environmentally friendly electricity for its own use at many of its sites with the help of solar panels and geothermal energy.  Further measures include:

• the optimization of production processes
• the switch to electric company vehicles
• the use of recyclable materials
• the reduction of waste and emissions

Development of sustainable technologies

With its vacuum solutions, Busch is driving forward the development of sustainable technologies. The products are used in the generation of green energy from renewable sources such as solar, wind and biogas. Other areas of application include:

• Carbon capture: The separation and storage of CO2 
• Hydrogen fuel cell technology: Emission-free conversion of chemical energy into electrical energy
• Nuclear fusion: Generation of virtually unlimited, clean energy through the fusion of atomic nuclei

Resource conservation and efficiency

The Busch Group focuses on efficiency and energy-saving potential when developing its products.

One example of this is Busch's energy-efficient R5 RD vacuum pump, which is used in many MULTIVAC packaging machines. Thanks to numerous optimizations, it requires around 17% less energy than comparable pumps on the market. 

Innovative solutions for sustainable production processes

With innovative technologies such as the ECOTORQUE variable speed drive, Busch ensures more sustainable production processes.

By precisely adjusting the pumping speed to the process requirements, these vacuum pumps can be operated in the most energy-efficient way possible. 

Successful partnership with MULTIVAC

Busch Vacuum Solutions and MULTIVAC have enjoyed a strong partnership for 60 years. Thanks to the integration of Busch vacuum technology, MULTIVAC can offer its customers particularly efficient and energy-saving packaging machines.
