49 BUSINESS VIEW MAGAZINE OCTOBER 2019 VANDEN BUSSCHE I RR IGAT ION & EQUI PME Founded by Rudolf Bauer in 1930, Austrian equipment manufacturer BAUER continues its 90- year heritage of innovation and superior quality. Important breakthroughs in slurry handling products, and the development of world- class irrigation machinery, have made BAUER a market leader in the production of high-quality equipment for use in agricultural, municipal, and industrial applications. Early success with the development of a high- pressure piston pump for handling manure led to the construction of Bauers own pipe production mill, and in 1947, Mr. Bauer developed the Bauer Lever-Closure-Ring and Bauer Quick-Couplings that would become industry standards. Steady expansion of the company would bring the addition of chopper pumps, slurry tankers and mixers, manure separators, water pumps, center pivots and drum-style irrigators. The 1970s saw the introduction of Bauers incredibly successful RAINSTAR “traveling” irrigation machines that continue to provide farmers with a cost effective, mobile, and highly reliable method of irrigating all kinds of crops, even in challenging terrain or irregularly shaped fields. Today, the Bauer Groups acquisition and integration of highly regarded companies such as FAN Separator and Eckart, allows BAUER to also remain on the cutting-edge of wastewater handling and separation technology. Whether irrigating a soccer field or acres of vital cropland, separating manure for composting or to produce bedding material for 10,000 cows, Bauer provides customers with a truly complete package and meets the highest expectations for quality and value. ......
