The drilling equipment manufacturer HAUSHERR System Bohrtechnik based in Unna, Westphalia, was taken over by BAUER Maschinen GmbH of Schrobenhausen, Bavaria, part of the BAUER Group, with effect from 1 June 2009.
"Together we are stronger: integrating into the group structure offers new opportunities on the international market," explain Rudolf Grüneberg and Dr Carl Hagemeyer, Hausherr's managing directors. "From now on we will benefit from the existing infrastructure and global presence of the BAUER Group with its many subsidiaries, and so will further develop our sales activities and expand our range of products in the future. Hausherr is now in a position to take on major projects which previously we could not implement alone."
The proven Hausherr blast-hole drilling machine will be on display on the BAUER Group stand at bauma 2010 in Munich (19 to 25 April).
HAUSHERR System Bohrtechnik develops and manufactures drill rigs and drilling equipment for use in quarries, open-cast mining, specialist foundation engineering and for the exploration of resources. With 60 years experience and constant development in these areas, the company's technical expertise is very clear. "Hausherr drill rigs stand out due to their robust and reliable technology", says Grüneberg. "Their extreme durability means that the machines can be operated very cost-effectively." Very few electronic systems are used in Hausherr equipment on principle. All components are generously dimensioned and very easily accessible to assist maintenance and repair work. In addition Hausherr drill rigs comply with all current national and international requirements concerning safety, environmental protection and ergonomics.
Bauer is a provider of services, machinery and ancillary products in the earth-working and groundwater fields. The Group markets its products and services all over the world. Its global spread allows it to remain largely unaffected by fluctuating business cycles.
The operations of the Group are divided into three segments: Construction, Equipment and Resources. The Construction segment carries out specialist foundation engineering work all over the world, developing foundation and excavation projects as well as providing related construction services.
In its Equipment segment, in which it is the world market leader, Bauer offers an extensive range of machinery, equipment and tools for specialist foundation engineering.
The Resources segment encompasses the Group's operations in the exploitation of raw materials, in environmental technology, in geothermal drilling operations and also in equipment for wells (including pumps and drills, screens and casings).
Bauer profits greatly from the collaboration between its three separate segments, enabling the Group to position itself as an innovative, highly specialized provider of complete solutions and services for demanding projects on the specialist foundation engineering and related markets.
Founded in 1790, Bauer today generates more than two thirds of its total revenues outside of Germany. Employing some 8,600 people, the Group's total revenues in 2008 were EUR 1.53 billion (previous year: EUR 1.2 billion). BAUER Aktiengesellschaft has been listed on the official market of the Frankfurt Stock Exchange since July 4, 2006 (Prime Standard, ISIN DE0005168108).
