All about the
BÜCHL Group

An overview of our tradition, our current company and our long-term strategy.

Traditional company

WHERE DO WE COME FROM?

The company was founded in 1951 by Josef and Cäcilia Büchl, the grandparents of the current generation of entrepreneurs. The pioneering work of the founding couple Büchl cannot be recognized highly enough, as it was decisive for the successful development into today’s group of companies.

The company has always been committed to sustainable development – with new ideas and technical innovations for recycling and waste disposal as well as a strong social commitment. This mission is anchored in the core of the company philosophy, which has been developed and supported by three generations.

Büchl success story

The company history

50s: “…because he is a book”

Our company was founded in 1951. Cäcilia Büchl said of Josef: “He founded a company because heisa Büchl“. Entrepreneurship has been anchored for generations. Josef and Cäcilia Büchl, the grandparents of the current generation of entrepreneurs, had an eye for the problems in the area and the incentive to find solutions to them. 1955: the first permanent employee. In 1958 there are five trucks.

60s: “We weren’t very good, but we tore it up.”

Josef Büchl buys the first excavator in 1961. The transport company now also becomes a civil engineering company. Büchl equips its trucks with radios as early as 1965 in order to be able to communicate faster and respond more flexibly to customer inquiries. Orders can now be coordinated much better.

70s: The new boss

Reinhard Büchl, the father of the current generation of entrepreneurs, takes over the company. In 1972, the company moves to Wettstetten with 30 employees and 8 trucks. 1976: 25 years of very good cooperation are confirmed by the AUDI NSU AUTO UNION – a reference that creates the basis for a sustainable cooperation that has now lasted almost 70 years.

80s: Revolution in waste policy

1981: The site in the new Ingolstadt industrial estate is developed. 1983: The first sorting plant starts up at the new location. The company is developing primarily in the waste disposal sector. New recycling plants are built, for example the first soil plant in 1989. BÜCHL Entsorgungsberatung is founded in 1987 and the product EMS® is introduced – the BÜCHL Waste Management System.

90s: The LOGEX idea and launch in Hungary

1993 saw the initiation of the LOGEX SME cooperation, 1995 saw the start of DBR Donaubauschutt Recycling with landfill operations in Großmehring, 1997 the construction of the new composting plant in Stammham and 1998 the establishment of a new site for 1A Autoteile (vehicle recycling). In 1999, BÜCHL begins successful operations in Györ/Hungary.

00s: The third generation

BÜCHL celebrates its 50th anniversary in 2001. The first front loaders are in use. In Hungary, the new ELOG SYSTEM® is introduced in 2000 for in-house waste disposal at the new AUDI plant. BÜCHL acquires a stake in GRN Glasrecycling Neuburg in 2005. In 2006, BÜCHL Hungaria expands its activities with a second site and builds facilities for the processing of grinding sludge and the production of substitute fuels. The third generation, Reinhard Büchl jun. and Iris Büchl, gradually take over the entrepreneurial responsibility.

DIE Büchl DNA

What makes Büchl special

These values have been important to us since our foundation, as they are today and will continue to be in our day-to-day work.

Tradition-conscious and familiar

We know our roots and stick together. As a regional family business, we are aware of the importance of a strong region. We cultivate relationships with regional partners. Our employees should see themselves as part of the BÜCHL family. This also includes addressing things openly and looking for solutions together. We are constantly evolving without forgetting who we are and where we come from.

Competent and innovative

We know what we are doing and how we can solve the tasks. For us, being innovative means recognizing the requirements of the future, developing suitable solutions
and putting them into practice with courage. Competence means solving set tasks sustainably through future-oriented thinking and a high-performance organization. A "we've always done it this way" only comes into question if the "always done it this way" is also top. We promote and utilize the diverse skills and professional expertise of our employees. We rely on good relationships with research institutions and regional universities to provide us with impetus.

Powerful and reliable

You can rely on BÜCHL. High performance is a combination of motivated, experienced and thoughtful employees as well as the right procurement, optimum operation and careful use of technology. We prove our performance to our customers every day. Quality awareness is paramount in everything we do. Our customers and business partners can rely on this.

Courageous and future-oriented

We see the challenges as an opportunity. Problems are there to be solved. We are always at the cutting edge and boldly break new ground. We are looking beyond the horizon and optimistically into the future, to which we are making our contribution in order to make it more sustainable.

Responsible and fair

We are aware of our responsibility and accept it. As a medium-sized family business, we can only be successful if our employees enjoy working "at BÜCHL". We therefore take care of our employees. We maintain long-term
and trusting partnerships with our customers.
We are characterized by our strong social commitment. As an environmental service provider, we also have a special ecological responsibility.

BÜCHL is a high-performance medium-sized group of companies with more than 500 employees at more than 10 locations. The Group's services are divided into three business segments: recycling and waste disposal (1), research, planning and consulting (2) and renewable energy generation (3). The Waste Management and Recycling division, with BÜCHL Entsorgungswirtschaft and BÜCHL Hungaria, is the core of the Group.
