Founded in Germany by Christian Bürkert in 1946, Bürkert initially embarked on developing and manufacturing innovative products such as foot warmers, oven controls, and incubator temperature control systems. While these products met the demands of their time, over the years, the company increasingly focused on valve technology and soon became an international benchmark for industrial solenoid valves.
One of Bürkert's brands specializes in the production and sale of process products, including solenoid valves, butterfly valves, ball valves, angle seat valves, check valves, filters, pneumatic actuators, sensors, and controllers. Currently, it boasts four R&D centers, five production sites, 35 subsidiaries worldwide, and over 3,000 employees (as of 2013).
