About the BÜTER Group
The BÜTER Group, headquartered at BÜTER Maschinenfabrik GmbH in Haren (Ems), is a European supplier of hydraulic cylinders and lifting technology products with almost 60 years of company history and more than 550 employees. All common cylinder types for mobile and stationary applications are manufactured – from micro cylinders through double-acting hydraulic cylinders, plunger and accumulator cylinders to cylinders with stroke measurement systems, end-of-stroke cushioning or valve technology. Core technologies are the patented full-screw assembly process (screwed cylinders) and the laser welding of the Smart Cylinder without welding wire at reduced tube wall thickness. Production relies on a machine park derived substantially from the company's own machine building, including self-developed tube processing machines, automated screw assembly systems and a laser welding system. Materials are predominantly steel, with piston rods among others made of C45E hard-chrome-plated. Customers come from agricultural machinery, construction machinery, commercial vehicle and waste disposal technology as well as logistics, intralogistics and rail transport. At the three sites in Haren (Ems), Emmen (NL) and Meppen, design, series and custom production as well as quality inspection including an in-house test laboratory take place.
