Bormann & Neupert by BS&B GmbH

What Bormann & Neupert by BS&B GmbH does

Bormann & Neupert by BS&B GmbH is a German industrial safety equipment company headquartered in Düsseldorf, operating as a strategic partnership between Ingenieurbüro Bormann & Neupert (a specialized valve supplier since 1930) and BS&B Safety Systems, a global rupture disk manufacturer with 100+ years of experience and manufacturing presence on nearly all continents. The company is a private German GmbH (HRB 75479), ultimately owned by BS&B Innovations, Limited, and operates with approximately 6 employees as a DACH-focused engineering, sales, and customer support office serving the broader BS&B network in Germany.

The company's product portfolio centers on pressure relief and plant safety: rupture disks (reverse buckling, aseptic, graphite, and specialty types for SF6 switchgear, OEM, and battery applications), pressure regulators, industrial explosion protection systems (IPD suppression, Ventex decoupling, flameless venting, SparkEx detection), buckling pin pressure relief valves (BPRV/BPIV/BPAV/BPPV/BPCV), tank protection valves and flame arresters (FlameSaf), and pneumatic quarter-turn actuators (Hytork XL). Notable technical differentiators include backpressure-independent disks (SKI™), operating ratios up to 90% with BPRV, CERAMIGARD-coated actuator surfaces, and a Custom Engineered Products (CEP) workflow for non-standard applications.

Revenue is generated through one-time equipment sales, custom engineered solutions via an 8-step process, and aftermarket/spare parts. Pricing is quote-based with no public list prices, and the company distributes through direct field sales, regional representatives, and the global BS&B network. Customers are primarily industrial end-users in chemical, pharmaceutical, plant construction, and energy sectors, with secondary verticals in biotechnology, food and beverage, aerospace (Boeing, Airbus), automotive, and plastics. The company claims Germany's most comprehensive product spectrum for pressure relief and plant safety, backed by extensive certifications (ATEX, ISO 16852, EN 13463, ASME UD, NFPA 68/69/855, EN 14491/14797, API 2000, CE PED).

Core offering

Bormann & Neupert by BS&B GmbH manufactures and distributes industrial pressure safety devices, including rupture disks, pressure regulators, explosion protection systems, tank protection valves, buckling pin relief valves, and pneumatic actuators. The company serves industrial plant operators in chemical, pharmaceutical, energy, and process engineering sectors with components designed to protect equipment from overpressure and explosion damage.

Product overview

Bormann & Neupert by BS&B GmbH is a German industrial safety company offering a comprehensive portfolio of pressure relief and plant safety products through two strategic partnerships: Bormann & Neupert as a specialized valve supplier since 1930 and BS&B Safety Systems as a leading rupture disk manufacturer with over 100 years of experience. The product portfolio centers around six core categories: Berstscheiben (rupture disks) including reverse buckling, aseptic, graphite, and specialty types for various pressure applications; Druckregler (pressure regulators) for low and medium pressure inert gas regulation; Industrieller Explosionsschutz (industrial explosion protection) encompassing suppression, decoupling, pressure relief, and flameless venting systems; Tankschutzarmaturen (tank protection valves and flame arresters) for deflagration, detonation, and continuous burning protection; Knickstab-Druckentlastungsarmaturen (buckle pin pressure relief valves) combining rupture disk precision with quick reset; and Stellantriebe (pneumatic actuators) for valve automation. Accessories include solenoid valves, limit switches, and position regulators from third-party manufacturers. The company serves chemical, pharmaceutical, food, energy, and general industrial sectors.
