The BARTEC success story begins in 1975 with the development of a switch. A switch with great effect: preventing explosions at fuel stations. What begins with selected problem-solving soon develops into a recipe for success beyond German borders. BARTEC opens the first locations abroad in the Netherlands and France in 1979. Tokyo follows in 1987 with the first subsidiary in the Far East, and then the USA in 1994. Today, BARTEC is represented with locations and agencies all over the world. The business segments have also expanded. Today, we do not just operate in the oil and gas industry, but also in the chemical, industry/ logistics, pharmaceutical, commerce and trade, energy and other sectors. Over 45 years of experience in safety technology you can rely on. BARTEC’s innovative products and solutions can be found in many different areas of a complete industrial plant, ensuring that our everyday lives run smoothly. Because wherever hazardous substances such as flammable gases, vapours, mists or dusts can occur, components and system solutions developed by BARTEC prevent explosions, making people and their environment safe.
