Founded Group history since 1790; equipment manufacturing since 1969
Germany
Company Overview

BAUER Maschinen GmbH is one of the world's leading German engineering companies specializing in foundation engineering equipment. BAUER develops machinery for complex civil engineering and infrastructure projects, including piling rigs, drilling rigs, diaphragm wall equipment, trench cutters, and deep-foundation technologies used in the construction of bridges, tunnels, ports, skyscrapers, dams, railways and other major works.

Company History

The BAUER Group traces its origins to a copper-smith workshop founded in 1790 in Schrobenhausen, Bavaria. The company moved into specialist foundation engineering in the twentieth century and began building its own foundation equipment from 1969. In 2001 machine manufacturing was separated into BAUER Maschinen GmbH, alongside the construction business BAUER Spezialtiefbau GmbH, with BAUER AG as the group holding company.
