Reaching new heights of success with products that last
Strengthened by continuous growth in recent years, Bucher is presenting its latest successful developments at Aircraft Interiors Expo. Some of the products on display include a galley for the A380, the new ATS stretcher, various intelligently designed seating elements and a centre cabinet for the EMS equipment of the EC135. What's more, visitors to the stand will find plenty of interesting concepts, solutions, and services that undoubtedly demonstrate Bucher's continued success and its ability to offer significant added value for passengers and operators alike
There are various reasons why Bucher has enjoyed long-term success in the aerospace industry. Certainly, virtues such as outstanding innovation and quality combined with reliable products and services provide a solid basis for its

Bucher is now devoting the space that has been freed up in its headquarters entirely to the Galley business area. This has enabled the Swiss lightweight construction specialist to strengthen its own market position in the promising galley segment for twin-aisle aircraft. The emphasis here is on the systematic expansion of the product range in order to be better positioned to offer galleys for all classes of travel – from Y/C to F/C.

Presented to the public for the first time in May 2010, it extends the product range in the stretcher segment and offers a solution that has the potential to meet future market requirements, particularly since this 16g-compatible stretcher is able to adapt optimally to the latest seat geometries. As seat backs become ever taller and therefore threaten to restrict the installation of stretchers into seat rows, the current design requires a completely new approach. Increased flexibility of use is clearly needed here,

achievements – particularly since the company applies these values with such passion. And because through its numerous products and customers, this philosophy has proven to be extremely successful, Bucher is in a state of constant growth, which has led to an increase in production and development capacities. In autumn 2010 Bucher opened its new Huebwis factory in Fällanden / Zurich, which houses 40 employees in generously proportioned, modern premises with an assembly area totalling 1600 m2
and approx. 600 m2 of office space.
This expansion not only means more room for the development of operational processes, but also has required various organisational changes. Whereas work in the new building concentrates on development and production activities in the Medical & Interior Components business area,
