Bühler Group, founded in 1860 and headquartered in Uzwil, Switzerland, delivers process technology for the food, feed, and advanced materials sectors. The company designs industrial-grade systems for grain milling, chocolate production, extrusion, and die casting, supporting large-scale production with precision and hygiene compliance. Bühler’s value lies in its automation platforms, digital twin integration, and commitment to sustainable process engineering, enabling customers to reduce energy, water, and material usage. Operating in over 140 countries, Bühler serves a critical role in global food security and manufacturing innovation.
Today, Bühler has opened its new Food Application Center (FAC) as the crowning moment of Bühler GO! 2020, its virtual networking and engagement event for food industry leaders. At this state-of-the-art center, Bühler aims to support and drive innovation among its customers, start-ups, academia, and industry partners to create economically viable and sustainable food value chains in North America.
Bühler’s new ChocoX is as flexible as its pronunciation “Choco Cross”. The solution combines flexibility and agility in production and hygienic design, resulting in significantly lower operational costs. Its completely modular design allows for unlimited crossovers of the process line and quick adaptation to different products.
In just six weeks, Bühler transformed its physical interpack program into a fully digital experience. It has certainly been a very steep learning curve for the company, but one that will give Bühler’s partners and customers access to new services for operational efficiency and capacity improvement, new product proposals to delight consumers, and inspiration to ensure the long-term sustainability of our global food supply.
