Three technologies. One truth.
Some materials place high demands on the process—for example, due to their viscosity or temperature sensitivity. Our technologies are designed precisely for these conditions.
The BUSSLIST Group combines three process technologies that master precisely these materials: from high-viscosity reactions and temperature-sensitive compounding to precise cooling and solidification. Not because the market demanded it, but because it was the logical next step.
We think in terms of the process, not the machine. The process machine is the result.
How it started.
In 1945, Heinz List invented the co-kneader at BUSS, a machine designed for materials that could not be processed in any other way. He later founded LIST and developed the Kneader Reactor for high- and ultra-high-viscosity processes.
Paul Berger asked a different question. Starting in 1972, he built cooling systems for viscous materials: precise, functionally designed, and self-contained. His company, BBA Innova, became part of LIST in 2016.
Two engineers. Three answers to the same question: How do you master complex processes involving challenging materials?
That means for you…
What drives us is curiosity and the belief that every process can be understood more deeply and every material mastered more precisely. This is what connects our three technologies. And that’s what you get when you work with us.
At BUSSLIST, innovation isn’t just a department. It’s the reason we exist. From the first Co-Kneader patent in 1945 through the KneaderReactor to the present day: We protect what we develop, because our proprietary process knowledge is the foundation upon which our customers build. And so do we. Patents are not a formality. They are proof that an idea is truly new. And the guarantee that it belongs to us, so we can continue to develop it.
How we work
We ask questions before we give answers.
For you, this means having a partner who understands your process before recommending a solution.
Where we come from
BUSSLIST Group is a Swiss company. Not as a label, but as a standard. What began as three independent companies is now a group that unites three technologies and the same engineering tradition: precision over speed, durability over convenience, and commitment over promises.
What our customers say
“After several days of stoppage due to a break in our kneader we have restarted the production and fortunately everything is OK. The collaboration with the BUSS team was very useful and fulfilled all of our requirements. It was a very nice experience to work together “on line” with the BUSS team in Switzerland and our team in Argentina. Thank you very much for your kind and useful collaboration.”
“BUSS is a great partner because BUSS is High Tech. Thank you for the good work.”
“BUSS is an excellent partner as its compounding delivers a very good performance. Besides, the technical support from the BUSS team is perfect. BUSS means full understanding in commercial terms.”
“Since the beginning of our partnership with BUSS, PLASCOM is successfully using BUSS compounding lines to manufacture polymer compound for wire & cables.”
“BUSS helped us to regain control of our machines, we have optimized the process geometry together with technicians from BUSS and we use spare parts that are fit for purpose. Machine has over 1800 hours flawless runtime in the last 9 months.”
“The BUSS Kneader is good compounding with high quality.”
“I express my sincere thanks for both of your continued support and understanding since the beginning of the project. Your hard work has laid a solid foundation for a long-term cooperation between NFC and BUSS. I hope that we can continue our sincere cooperation and make persistent efforts to provide technical service and maintenance work and make great efforts for NFC and BUSS on establishing a good reputation.”
“BUSS is a great partner as the quality of its products and the output are high, maintenance is low and spare parts are rarely required. The BUSS compounder is a very good product and disposes of features that makes it unique.”
More about us
Quality
For a process machine that has been running reliably for over thirty years, quality cannot be merely a final inspection step. It is a principle that shapes every project from start to finish—in listening, in design, in construction, and in support. At the same time, it is also important to maintain the certifications for our process machines and services that are vital to the industry and, in some sectors, even critical.
Career
Looking for a new challenge? In an industrial company that combines tradition and Swiss values with innovation and internationality? We create excellent products with both large and small brands. And it’s never boring. With us, you work in a future-oriented environment. At BUSS, a profession can become a calling. And we thrive on your passion for innovation, responsibility, and customer satisfaction.
