What Büscherhoff Packaging Solutions does

Büscherhoff Packaging Solutions GmbH is a privately held German specialty manufacturer of flexible film packaging, headquartered in Steinfeld (Lower Saxony) and operating as part of the Büscherhoff-Unternehmensgruppe. Founded approximately three decades ago and led by Managing Director Bernd Büscherhoff, the company employs roughly 300 staff across two production sites in Germany and Bosnia-Herzegovina (Büscherhoff-Plastikal D.O.O. in Kalesija) and two foreign sales offices, including one in Ukraine. Its core product range spans inliners for liquids and bulk goods, bag-in-box systems, flexitanks of 10,000 to 28,000 liters, containerliners for 20"/30"/40" shipping containers, blocksacks and FFS films, and proprietary PE, PP, composite, and electrically conductive grid films, all engineered to customer specification.

The technology base is distinguished by full vertical integration: in-house film extrusion, proprietary injection molding, and an in-house machine-construction department that designs and builds most production equipment. Two patents anchor the differentiated portfolio - a dissipative grid film certified to IEC 60079-32-1 for use in explosive atmospheres (ATEX zones 0-2 and 20-22) and a conductive PE film for containerliners - complemented by aluminum barrier films for hygroscopic and oxygen-sensitive goods. The company carries a broad certification stack spanning ISO 9001:2015, ISO 22000:2018, PAS 1008:2016, FDA Title 21, EU 10/2011, USP 40-NF 35, Koscher, HHCC and HQC Halal, and BAS 1049:2010 across both production sites.

Commercially, Büscherhoff sells custom-engineered packaging solutions directly to enterprise customers in the chemical, food & beverage, pharmaceutical, and logistics industries through a sales-led, consultation-driven motion. Pricing is quote-based against individual specifications with 30-day payment terms, and reference customers include Bayer, tesa, Dow, and VTG. The go-to-market is complemented by a cooperation with Andocksysteme for the ACUBE single-use containment system and a factoring arrangement for working-capital financing, while the public footprint is supported by a multilingual website rather than a broader digital marketing presence.
