What Buschhoff does
Buschhoff (Th. Buschhoff GmbH & Co.) is a privately held, family-owned German manufacturer of stationary and mobile grain-processing and feed-production equipment, headquartered in Ahlen, North Rhine-Westphalia. Founded in 1873 by blacksmith Theodor Buschhoff and now in its fourth generation of family leadership under Werner Buschhoff and Dr. Christian Buschhoff, the company designs, manufactures, and services complete plants covering the full grain-processing chain: conveying and storage (BVS, BTS, BFS, BBE, BKE, BTK), grinding (BHOS, BHOSI, BHS, BHOS DUO hammer mills), mixing (M-WR, GM-WR industrial mixers up to 9.6 tonnes with 1:100,000 accuracy), and proprietary electronic control systems (WIDOMIX Pro, WIDOMIX 4.0, MOLARUS, SIRUS). Its flagship mobile product line, the self-propelled TOURMIX series (04, SD, DUO), is built on truck chassis such as KAMA or MAZ and is capable of grinding up to 30-35 t/h and discharging up to 50-70 t/h with patented hydraulically extendable Vario mixers.
The business model is built on custom-configured capital-equipment sales rather than list pricing: each system is quoted per specification (drive power, capacity, chassis, optional features), manufactured in-house at the Olchetal industrial park on an 11,000 m² site with a 4,000 m² production hall, and supported by remote-maintenance tooling (AnyDesk, TeamViewer), a WhatsApp service line, dedicated spare-parts supply for new and legacy machines (up to 10 years old), and refurbished-equipment resale. Go-to-market is hybrid: a German direct-sales force and regional Verkaufsberater are supplemented by authorized channel partners in Austria (Karl Deschberger Landtechnik), Poland (Plottnik AgroConsulting), the UK (B&W Feeds), and Ukraine (Siy Dobro). The company states a presence in more than 50 countries with the majority of revenue generated abroad, serving livestock farmers (primary), commercial feed producers, and contract feed-mill operators via agricultural trade fairs (Agritechnica, Pig & Poultry Show), a multi-language website, and an active social-media presence.
