Willy A. Bachofen's relationship with people and employees was a lifelong concern. His thoughts on the subject were characterized by the desire to preserve his life's work, the company, even after his death.

The Willy A. Bachofen AG Corporate Foundation

Characterized by pioneering spirit: Paving the way and securing the future of the WAB-GROUP

WAB was founded in 1933 by Wilhelm Arnold Bachofen. With great skill and commitment, he managed the original craft and trading business and developed it into an industrial company. In the 1960s, he and his team successfully launched two innovations worldwide: first the TURBULA, the three-dimensional shaker mixer, and then the DYNO-MILL, the first agitator bead mill with a closed, horizontally arranged grinding chamber.

Willy A. Bachofen took the 65th anniversary of the company in 1998 as an opportunity to implement his strategy for securing the long-term future of the company, maintaining its independence and safeguarding jobs for the future: A company foundation transfers shares to deserving and long-serving employees of the parent company Willy A. Bachofen AG for their benefit. These employees have the rights and obligations of ordinary shareholders for the duration of their employment. When they leave the company, the shares are returned to the company foundation.

Willy A. Bachofen passed away in Basel on April 28, 2000 at the age of 89. His unconditional business ethics, his entrepreneurial sense of responsibility and his principle of sustainability continue to form the cornerstones of our company's vision and mission.

That is an art to find! He found gaps for new things. He found the right people who could implement something. He found new patents and new locations. He found his wife, he found representatives for his machines and he found solutions to problems.
