Bucon Industries B.V.

What Bucon Industries B.V. does

Bucon Industries B.V. is a Dutch private limited company (B.V.) headquartered in Bergschenhoek, Zuid-Holland, that designs, manufactures, and sells prefabricated corrugated steel storage tanks. Its portfolio comprises two core product lines — water tanks and manure tanks — augmented by accessories such as covers, liners, and a tank level indicator. The company was founded in 2006 and operates with a lean team of approximately five employees, shipping products from a Rotterdam-based warehouse/distribution hub to customers worldwide.

The company's technical differentiation rests on three pillars: Magnelis® galvanization, a patented zinc-magnesium-aluminum coating marketed as the best available protection against red and white rust; Granite® HDX color coating available in light gray (RAL7038) and dark green (RAL6009); and a patented bolt set design in which M12 bolts and washers mirror the corrugation of the steel sheets, yielding two times greater tensile strength with fewer bolts per tank. Tanks are constructed from S 350 GD higher-grade steel and can reach 6.10 meters in height. The bolt-together prefabricated design eliminates the need for a concrete foundation, and two standardized panel lengths (3048mm long, 2300mm short) are engineered to fit economically inside standard shipping containers.

Bucon operates a direct-to-customer sales model with quote-based pricing (no public price list), targeting four verticals: horticulture (primary, with thousands of tanks installed), drinking water, wastewater, and agricultural manure storage. The company holds CPR EN-1090 certification for load-bearing steel components and supports inbound demand via a multilingual website available in 10 languages, with brochures downloadable in seven languages. No financials, headcount changes, funding rounds, or partnership activity are disclosed.
