BB-Umwelttechnik - the company
BB-Umwelttechnik is a manufacturer of agricultural machinery for the sustainable management of grassland. BB-Umwelttechnik, based in Bernbeuren, Upper Bavaria, has set itself the task of developing innovative and environmentally friendly solutions for mowing technology. The company's animal-friendly technology has been recognised with awards.
History of BB-Umwelttechnik
The beginnings of BB-Umwelttechnik go back to the current managing director Max Bannaski. The master mechanical engineer initially designed a bale wrapper and a windrower for the needs of his own farm. The machines were so efficient, easy to pull and gentle on the forage that other farmers soon took notice. This laid the foundation for today's BB-Umwelttechnik company. The next step in the development of BB-Umwelttechnik was the construction of a mower. Here, too, the considerations began with dissatisfaction with the mowers available on the market. Although they worked efficiently, they consumed a lot of energy and had a negative impact on the soil and wildlife. BB-Umwelttechnik then designed a double-blade mower that is characterised by low weight, low energy consumption and mowing behaviour that is gentle on animals and plants.
BB-Umwelttechnik - Success with double-blade mowers
Not only in organic farming, but in all agricultural operations, the question arises as to how efficient mowing can be realised at low cost. In commercial agriculture, the view is often held that only large, heavy and energy-intensive machines are capable of achieving a good yield. However, BB-Umwelttechnik's developments show that even lightweight machines with low energy consumption can generate excellent output and deliver very good mowing results. The success of BB-Umwelttechnik machines is based on lightweight and manoeuvrable designs in combination with energy and environmentally friendly components such as the double blade technology from ESM. Today, BB-Umwelttechnik is a successful and expanding company with a wide range of products and an international customer base. BB-Umwelttechnik attracted Europe-wide attention when it won the Bee Award 2016. BB-Umwelttechnik's double-knife mower was recognised for its particularly environmentally friendly and efficient mowing behaviour, which protects insects and amphibians.
