Four generations
of entrepreneurial spirit

Most recently, bavius’ aerospace machining processes have been brought to wider metal cutting markets with the revolutionary Trunnion 5 axis series horizontal machining centres – combining high-speed spindles with optimum rigidity to deliver unmatched metal removal rates.

The Group has been sustained by four generations of the entrepreneurial spirit of the Handtmann family from Biberach. It combines a 135-year tradition with modern management.

Right up to today, Arthur Handtmann, who built the Company, starting in 1946 with 20 employees, into a powerful Group, embodies this philosophy in his function as Chairman of the Advisory Board. Representing the fourth generation, Thomas Handtmann took over responsibility in 1998 and is shaping the future in the same spirit.
