About Bucher Stahl
Founded in 1901, Bucher Stahlhandel GmbH is a family-owned company headquartered in Zimmern ob Rottweil that sees itself as a steel and materials trading business with comprehensive steel processing. Its warehouse range covers quality steel, case-hardening and through-hardening steels, tool steel, sheets, bright steel, stainless steel, slitted and cold-rolled strip, spring strip steel, tubes, bar steel, profile steel, precision flat steel as well as aluminium, titanium and other non-ferrous metals – over 12,000 products from manufacturers such as voestalpine and SSAB. In its cutting and sawing centre, the company handles the first production stages: fine-plasma and oxy-fuel cutting, shearing, sawing, drilling, milling, turning and grinding, complemented by shot blasting, descaling, annealing, painting and coating. Around 500 tonnes of steel leave the fully automated cassette high-bay warehouse every day; the company's own fleet of 20 trucks supplies more than 2,500 industrial customers in Germany, France, Austria and Switzerland, in some cases within 24 hours with shipment tracking.
