Milestones of our company
A lot has happened over the years in our long existence.
Foundation 1984
The sole proprietorship Büchler Trommelbau is founded and has its modest beginnings in a small workshop at Austrasse 45,
Integration of the company Sacher Trommelbau 1997
The company André Steiner Trommelbau, formerly Sacher Trommelbau, is integrated into the company and merged into Büchler & Steiner GmbH.
Expansion with in-house carpentry 1998
In order to better and faster respond to the special needs of customers, an in-house carpentry workshop is established.
Production of drumheads 1999
Mit der Anschaffung von zwei Metall-Umform Maschinen wird eine eigene Produktion für Trommelfelle eingerichtet. Die Eigenmarken “ROTEX” und “EASY” werden fortan in unserem Haus produziert.
New company name 2003
After the retirement and unfortunately much too early death of André Steiner, the company name is changed to Büchler Trommelbau GmbH. 3 more employees are hired and Reto Lippold becomes a partner.
Move to Allschwilerstrasse 2014
With the demolition of the property on Leimenstrasse, our business moves to Allschwilerstrasse and has a new store with a large display window.
