Complex tasks need smart solutions.
We have them.
The history of Buchholz Hydraulik goes back to 1884: What began with the founding of a craftsman’s business in Kiel has grown into an internationally established family business. Today, Buchholz Hydraulik is still managed personally by its owners – now in the fourth generation.
