Bühler’s core battery technology uses continuous slurry mixing via co-rotating twin-screw extrusion systems that integrate raw material handling, pre-mixing, kneading, dispersion and degassing into a single energy-efficient step, reducing energy consumption by up to 75% (56 kWh/t vs. 224 kWh/t). Systems include in-line quality control and data-driven analytics for cathode and anode electrode slurry production.
Food processing systems for grains, specialty ingredients and animal feed; digital process optimization platforms; chemical production technologies; co-rotating twin-screw extruders for battery electrode slurries; megacasting machines (e.g., Carat 920) for integrated aluminum casting; optical sorting systems.
2024–2025 highlights: partnership with FIB S.p.A to build LFP cell capacity in Europe; deployment of 40+ megacasting systems globally; installation of Carat 920 megacasting equipment with Seojin System in South Korea; opening of an optical sorting research and training center in Northern California; launch of African Milling School in Kenya; implementation of continuous slurry technology at Lake Lab in Singapore.
Bühler Group is privately held and family-owned by Karin Bühler, Dr. Maya Bühler and Jeannine Bühler since 2014. No external equity investors are disclosed. In 2024, the company reported an equity ratio of 52.8%.
