Business
BAUEN Glasapparatebau AG was originally established as a partnership at the beginning of the 1960s. In the first two decades of its existence, it primarily developed and manufactured glass equipment and a variety of glass components for use in laboratories and in gas chromatography. Its customers were mainly multinational pharmaceutical and chemical companies based in Basel, such as Hoffmann-La Roche, Sandoz and Ciba-Geigy (today Novartis).
Since the mid-1980s, it has increasingly tended to specialise and has focused on precision glass components. This reorientation led to an expansion of the existing client base and at the same time also marked the start of a successful partnership with leading global operators in precision instrument technology, including Mettler-Toledo, Metrohm and Bachem.
In 2001, the original business was incorporated under the name BAUEN Glasapparatebau AG, managed by Michael Bauen.
