Belimo Automation AG
Based on technical advice from Bachofen’s valve technology specialists, they opted for the Type 8038 stainless steel sliding gate flange motor valve, which fully met the requirements of the challenging application.
“Thanks to minimal hysteresis, the valve ensures highly precise flow control and moves quickly to the correct position without overshooting. It’s exactly what we need.”
SPE Tech AG
As a company specialising in sustainable process and energy plants, SPE Tech AG focuses on customer proximity, flexibility and customer-specific solutions. These qualities also won over the producer of the most famous capsule in the world.
“In addition to the technical know-how and flexibility of our supply partners, the price also plays a decisive role in a successful collaboration. As a matter of principle, we work with a small number of suppliers that we know well.”
Avery Dennison Materials Europe GmbH
There are few technical achievements from the Stone Age that are more indispensable than ever today, and will continue to be so in the future. One of these is adhesives. In this domain, Avery Dennison is making innovation history in the 21st century.

Estavayer Lait SA
Hygiene is the top priority in the food and beverage industry. ELSA, a dairy belonging to the Migros Group, uses the most modern CIP systems to clean its plants. This means that there are particular demands placed on the valve technology.
“We have found Bachofen to be a flexible, fully committed partner who won us over with their long-term cost-benefit calculations of a CIP solution with Schubert & Salzer valves.”
ARA Rietwiesen – Münsterlingen
Bachofen’s specialists have hit the nail on the head with the sliding gate valve 8038 from Schubert & Salzer. The valve performs well in the four biological treatment basins, with an accurate control of oxygen content, an electric motor drive and its compact, space-saving intermediate flange.
«The sliding gate valve has allowed us to finally achieve the accuracy of control we have long desired.»
Sager AG
Many companies’ histories swing between euphoric growth and sobering setbacks. Sager AG is an exception to this. Since its foundation, the insulation specialist has set its store by continuity. And that includes its relationships with suppliers.
