About the BUSSLIST Group
The BUSSLIST Group is an alliance of Buss AG, LIST Technology AG and BBA Innova AG that covers the process chain for highly viscous, temperature-sensitive and solidifying materials, from reaction through compounding to cooling, solidification and pelletizing. Buss AG, based in Pratteln (Switzerland), manufactures Co-Kneaders and Pelletizers for compounding applications, LIST Technology AG supplies Kneader Reactors for continuous reaction processes in the concentrated phase, and BBA Innova AG provides cooling systems for the continuous solidification and flaking of viscous materials. The machines are used, among other applications, in the polymer, paint and powder coating, chemical, fiber, food, elastomer, recycling, energy and aluminum industries as well as in the wire and cable industry, for example in the production of PVC compounds for cables. With around 220 employees, a service network distributed worldwide through subsidiaries and partners, and the digital platform SenseHUB® for condition data and OEE metrics, the group supports its plants throughout their entire life cycle, from commissioning to modernization.
