but not forgetting the present…
The economic spectrum of Buchen comprises a healthy mixture of manufacture, trade, craft, and provision of service. Buchen is home to a lot of distinguished and well-established companies producing branded articles being in great demand.
They range from car accessories to clay roof tiles, specialist machinery and sophisticated plastic cases, from plastic foil keyboards to photographic technology, material testing machines and cereal bars.
The fact that people in charge have mainly focused on medium sized businesses in the past decades proves them right. While elsewhere the number of employees is in constant decline, Buchen has experienced a continuing employment increase.
The registered office of the waste management society of the Neckar-Odenwald district is based in Buchen and thus provides the town with the most recent disposal facilities. The former district waste deposit site has been turned into the disposal centre Sansenhecken, an up and coming location with high-tech qualities.
The Stadtwerke (public services) Buchen GmbH have also turned into a successful regional power supply company a long time ago. Together with our partner, the MVV Energie AG, they offer cutting edge technology right at your doorstep: all throughout Germany these are the first public services the MVV takes a share in – a clear indication for the potential others see in us.
